Product Description

The VersaKit™ Explorer offers automated DNA purification from up to 96 samples, including filters, casework or crime-scene samples, and blood. Utilizing proven silica-membrane technology, this kit enables rapid isolation of high-quality, ready-to-use DNA with minimal hands-on time. The purified DNA performs well in downstream analyses, such as quantitative PCR and STR analysis, ensuring reliable results in forensic applications. The kit simplifies and accelerates the process of DNA purification, making it ideal for high-throughput forensic laboratories. By combining the efficiency of automated processing with the reliability of Avam® chemistry, forensic scientists can streamline their workflows while maintaining the integrity of their samples. The kit’s fully automated procedure requires less than 3 hours, including barcode reading, sample tracking, and complete process documentation, eliminating the need for manual intervention during the run.
