Applied Biosystems™ PrepFiler™ BTA Forensic DNA Extraction Kit Green Features

Applied Biosystems™ PrepFiler™ BTA Forensic DNA Extraction Kit Green Features

The PrepFiler BTA Forensic DNA Extraction Kit has been developed for the extraction of DNA from calcified tissues (bone, tooth), as well as certain adhesive-containing samples such as cigarette butts, tape lifts, and envelope flaps. The kit enables DNA yields and purity comparable to or better than conventional phenol-chloroform-based methods, with an approximate processing time of only 2 to 3 hours.
Optimized for use with bone and tooth, as well as other adhesive-containing samples, and allows you to obtain DNA yields and purity comparable to or better than conventional phenol-chloroform-based methods

Features

• Enables fewer tube transfers and greater overall ease of use than conventional methods, thus minimizing the opportunity for sample mix-ups or contamination
• Utilizes a simple, robust protocol that facilitates ease of implementation and training, and is more “tolerant" to a range of experience levels
• Significantly reduces processing time for bone and tooth by requiring a shorter lysis time (approximately 2 hours) compared to standard phenol-chloroform-based methods (approximately 18-48 hours)
