Advantages
- Streamlined Direct Amplification
Eliminates the need for DNA extraction or quantification—simply amplify and interpret results.
- Extensive Compatibility
Engineered for concordance with leading commercial kits and major international STR databases.
- Reliable and Robust
Designed to resist common PCR inhibitors, perform effectively with degraded DNA, and ensure consistent peak quality.
- Flexible Sample Input
Supports a wide array of sample types, including buccal swabs, dried blood stains, and forensic trace evidence.
Why STR Testing Requires CE Panels
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) enables precise size separation and fluorescent detection of amplified STR loci. It provides single-base resolution and multicolor analysis, making it indispensable for multi-locus genotyping. STR CE panels consolidate complex marker systems into streamlined workflows, ensuring:
- Accurate allele sizing and reproducibility
- Simultaneous detection of multiple loci in a single reaction
- Compatibility with international STR databases (e.g., CODIS, ESS)
- Efficient analysis even from degraded or trace DNA samples
