The purification of DNA from forensic samples is usually a time-consuming process, especially for challenging forensic samples.

Dr. Sheree Hughes—along with her graduate students Natalia Czado, Kayli Carrillo and Jennifer Snedeker—will present results from a recent study that compares manual DNA purification methods with recently developed automated processes for compromised samples.

The studies demonstrated that the newly developed automated method (Applied Biosystems HID NIMBUS Presto), resulted not only in faster turnaround time from purification to results, but also high-quality DNA recovery and streamlined interpretation from multiple challenging forensic sample types.

In this webinar, you will be presented with:
  • Examples of challenging forensic samples such as highly degraded bone, hair, nail and tooth samples from human remains and “touch” evidence and fired cartridge cases purified using the automated system
  • Data demonstrating high-quality DNA results
  • The benefits of using an efficient automated DNA purification workflow for challenging samples
Who should attend:
  • Forensic DNA analysts
  • Forensic scientists
  • Forensic lab managers
  • Forensic lab technical leaders
  • Criminalists, Crime Scene Investigators

*Please note, both Webinar Sessions will present the same content
