The basis of any paternity test is a full STR profile using a CODIS marker set. The Investigator STR 24plex GO! Kit provides convenient paternity testing without the need for DNA purification. Save money and begin your analysis with Investiga Benefits of the Investigator 24plex GO! Kit include: • Best mean exclusion chance due to 22 STR markers • Ideal for reference samples from buccal cells or blood on FTA paper or swabs • Integrated performance control due to the Quality Sensor • Validated for use in human identification according to SWGDAM and ENFSI guidelines • Minimized allelic overlap, reducing the risk of misinterpretation and enhancing result quality • Optimized time-to-result attained as a consequence of fast process times The Investigator 24plex GO! Kit amplifies the new 20 CODIS core loci, plus the highly informa- tive SE33 marker, DYS391 and Amelogenin (Table 3), thereby providing the highest power of discrimination for routine work. Samples can be amplified directly from buccal cells or blood on FTA, or from swabs. The kit is also available in a format with optimized sensitivity and performance for purified DNA samples (Investigator 24plex QS Kit). For laboratories that want to stay with the former CODIS-15, we offer the IDplex Plus and IDplex GO! Kits.
