A comparison of protocols for human DNA quantification in forensic casework


Quantification is a crucial element in human identity and forensic testing, so laboratories connected with law enforcement institutions need to know that their procedures are accurate and free of problems. Validation of the workflow is essential. In this webinar, Connie Leigh Brown of Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office Regional DNA Laboratory speaks about the results of her team's comparison of several protocols for human DNA quantification in forensic casework. The webinar is hosted by Patrice Galvin of Forensic Magazine.

The webinar includes:

Performance and reproducibility data for the tested protocols
Comparisons between currently available kits
Information on software setup for Investigator Quantiplex
