The new Beckman Coulter STR Primer Set is used to determine the purity and quality of DNA, for sample tracking and contamination monitoring
Beckman Coulter introduces GenomeLab Human STR Primer Set, for use with its CEQ series and GenomeLab GeXP genetic analysis systems.
It is said to be ideal for CEQ and GeXP users working with large numbers of DNA samples in applications such as clinical trials, tissue culture facilities and core labs.
"Sample tracking is a critical challenge in clinical trials," explains Edna Betgovargez, senior marketing specialist for Beckman Coulter.
"Not only do facilities need to track samples with accurate patient identification, they must also ensure that a patient is not participating in multiple trials".
The GenomeLab STR Primer Set has been optimised to reduce analysis time compared to other companies' offerings.
Loci known to be problematic in competitive kits have been excluded from the GenomeLab primer set.
Beckman Coulter provides the new STR Primer Set in a vial containing 12 primer pairs to amplify 11 STR loci and one gender-determining locus.
Each vial requires no preparation and contains reagents for 48 reactions.
The GenomeLab STR Primer Set is for research use only, not for forensic and not for human linkage analysis.
Promega is the owner of all rights, title and interest in the Multiplex Amplification of Short Tandem Repeat Loci in these fields.
