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 casework samples with mixed cell types and eliminates the need for purification when quantification and STR-analysis are performed with PowerQuant® and PowerPlex® Systems. 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.
