A DNA isolation system designed specifically for forensic and paternity labs, the DNA IQ System employs novel paramagnetic particles to isolate clean DNA for use with short tandem repeat analysis. Use the system to extract DNA from a variety of sample types. The unique DNA IQ Resin removes PCR inhibitors and contaminants frequently encountered in casework samples. When working with larger sample volumes, the DNA IQ System can deliver a consistent amount of total DNA. Samples such as buccal swabs, liquid blood and stains on FTA and other blood cards have been used. The Tissue and Hair Extraction Kit increases DNA yield from challenging casework samples and substrates. The kit uses Proteinase K and other reagents to remove proteins and other components from the DNA, ensuring maximal yield and recovery from casework samples. Then the DNA can be purified using the DNA IQ System, which has been tested with the PowerQuant, Plexor HY and PowerPlex Systems to ensure a streamlined process.
