Description
PURPOSE
«ALSENSE Forensic» Real-Time PCR kit is designed to eliminate errors in a pre-analytical stage during the following investigations:
- Testing of biological material containing human epithelial cells;
- Determination of human DNA presence in a sample;
- Determination of human genomic DNA concentration;
- Determination of human sex in a sample;
- Assessment of the degree of human DNA fragmentation.
ASSAY PRINCIPLE
The kit is a multiplex, real-time PCR-based assay with hybridization-fluorescence detection of one or more accumulating PCR products.
DNA concentration is determined using a calibration curve constructed within the concentration range of 0.0032 ng/μL – 50 ng/μL. Amplification of different sizes autosomal fragments enables a reliable assessment of DNA quantity in the sample, while amplification of Y chromosome fragment allows for the human sex determination.
BIOMATERIAL FOR ANALYSIS
- Nucleic acids extracted from forensic samples: nail material, subungual content, hair, blood, semen, epithelial cells, sputum, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, dental and bone tissue, etc.
