Concentrate Genomic DNA

The Amicon Ultra-4 100K NMWL centrifugal filter device concentrates human genomic DNA for use in forensic analysis. The device quickly ultra-filters dilute nucleic acid samples for fast separation of genomic DNA from low molecular weight compounds and analysis inhibitors. Source material is typically blood or blood stains, bodily fluids and/or tissue samples obtained either from crime scenes, directly from individuals, or from human remains. The isolated genomic DNA is used to identify individuals based on their Short Tandem Repeat (STR) profile. The resulting STR genetic fingerprints are unique to each person and can provide unequivocal identification of an individual. The filtration device is compatible with the multiple spin recovery assays used for STR analysis.
