This webinar, part 4 of a 6-part series, will detail how new sample triage assays and automated methods can help forensic DNA labs reduce backlog, improve turnaround times, and increase efficiency. David Miller from West Virginia State Police Forensic Laboratory will discuss how the lab is using NaOH extraction and Applied Biosystems™ Quantifiler Trio DNA Quantification Kit as a Y-screen assay to improve efficiency in sexual assault kit workflow.
Jarrett Roth from Thermo Fisher Scientific will discuss how automated solutions, such as the ID NIMBUS® Presto using the Applied Biosystems™ PrepFiler™ Automated Forensic DNA Extraction Kit, address bottlenecks for each step in DNA processing.
You will learn about:
-
How the Y-screen assay can help determine whether enough male DNA is present to yield a probative STR profile
-
How automation can optimize various steps in your workflow and improve efficiency in your laboratory
