Forensic labs require efficiency and precision, especially when handling complex samples from sexual assault cases. Manual methods for differential extraction are time-consuming, and their performance can vary depending on the individual analyst. The Maxwell DE System enables medium- and high-throughput separation of sperm DNA from male:female mixed casework samples. The protocol combines cell separation and purification to generate a single-source male STR profile. Automation provides consistent and reproducible results for forensic casework analysts who need to efficiently process sexual assault samples to reduce their lab?s SAEK backlog.
