Thermo Fisher, 4463351, PrepFiler™ Forensic DNA Extraction Kit, updated

PrepFiler™ Forensic DNA Extraction Kit is used for manual purification of forensic DNA from routine and challenging sample types such as body fluids, stains, and swabs of body fluids. The kit uses magnetic particles with a multicomponent surface chemistry designed to increase DNA recovery while removing PCR inhibitors that can compromise downstream human-identification assays. This configuration provides reagents for 100 reactions, including lysis buffer, magnetic particles, Wash Buffer A concentrate, Wash Buffer B concentrate, and elution buffer. All reagents are packaged together with a single expiration date and can be shipped and stored at room temperature. Filter columns for substrate removal and PrepFiler spin tubes are sold separately. The purified DNA is suitable for downstream quantification and STR genotyping workflows where both DNA yield and inhibitor removal are critical.
