AmpFISTR Identifiler Direct, Identifiler Plus and NGM PCR Amplification Kits

Forensic DNA kits with chemistry reagents, the AmpFISTR Identifiler Direct, Identifiler Plus and NGM PCR Amplification Kits provide good performance, efficiency and data quality, enabling fast recovery of more DNA results from a wider range of samples.

Claimed to be the world’s first commercially available kit designed to enable direct amplification of database samples, the Identifiler Direct Kit eliminates the entire step of DNA extraction and purification for single-source samples on standard FTA cards, accelerating testing by as much as 30%.

With PCR amplification technology that provides enhanced sensitivity, improved performance on mixtures and the ability to overcome high levels of PCR inhibitors, the Identifiler Plus Kit enables forensic analysts to recover more interpretable results from a wider range of DNA evidence samples.

The NGM Kit (next-generation multiplex) includes the five new genetic markers recommended by the European Network of Forensic Science Institutes and the European DNA Profiling Group to provide discrimination and support for European cross-border, data-sharing initiatives. It is claimed to provide the highest level of data quality and robustness for improved recovery of results from challenging samples.
