Developmental validation of the Investigator Argus Y-28 QS Kit

The analysis of Y-chromosomal STRs is an integral part of forensic practice, especially in the context of sexual offenses, where it enables the identification of a male even in a high background of female DNA. We have developed and validated the new Investigator Argus Y-28 QS Kit as an assay to co-amplify 27 Y-STR markers. The new Fast Reaction Mix 3.0 ensures not only robust and fast PCR amplification with improved inhibitor resistance and easy handling, but also provides enhanced robustness towards DNA overloading and stability.
