Description
Achieve fast, reliable results from critical evidence with forensicGEM Universal, the streamlined DNA extraction kit designed for forensic science. Where speed, sample integrity, and minimal contamination are paramount, our innovative enzymatic process delivers high-quality, analysis-ready DNA from challenging forensic samples in just 15 minutes.
Optimized for Forensic Evidence Types:
Consistently extract high-yield DNA from a comprehensive range of forensic samples. This includes saliva (liquid, swabs, stains, FTA cards), blood (liquid, swabs, stains, FTA cards), and tissue (solid samples and hair). The process is uniquely effective for both small-volume and trace samples.
Superior DNA for Demanding Forensic Analysis:
The method produces double-stranded DNA, and STR profiling, PCR, and qPCR all require dsDNA. Unlike traditional methods, our temperature-controlled process uses a novel cocktail of enzymes instead of harsh detergents and reducing agents like SDS or DTT. This eliminates common PCR inhibitors, ensuring superior results without purification steps.
A Closed-Tube Workflow Built for Speed and Security:
Transform your lab's efficiency with a fully hands-off, single-tube workflow. From sample to analysis, the process is contained, drastically reducing opportunities for contamination and protecting sample integrity. This approach is perfect for high-volume casework where quick turnaround is critical. The method is easily automated using existing thermal cyclers, freeing up valuable technician time and accelerating response times.
Why Forensic Labs Choose forensicGEM Universal:
Rapid Results: Obtain STR, PCR, and qPCR-ready DNA in approximately 15 minutes.
Maximized Yield from Trace Evidence: No purification steps enable efficient extraction from very small sample volumes.
Minimized Contamination Risk: Single-tube, closed processing protects sample integrity and lab workflow.
Cost and Time Efficient: Reduces hands-on time, lab costs, consumable use, and plastic waste.
Seamless Integration: Compatible with standard lab equipment for easy automation and adoption.
Choose forensicGEM Universal. It is the precise, efficient, and secure solution for modern forensic DNA analysis.

forensicGEM is a preparative method for DNA extraction. The method lyses cells and removes nucleoproteins from the DNA. Extracted DNA can be used for many types of genotyping including SNP and STR analysis as well as quantitative, multiplex and end- point PCR.
There is no concentration step in the procedure and so the concentration of the extract is dependent on: 1) The quality of the sample; 2) In the case of swabs, the type of swab and the volume of water used to wash the swab; 3) The extraction volume (which in some cases can be scaled).
DNA extracted using forensicGEM is largely single-stranded because of the 95°C heat step.
For accurate yield assessment, a qCR is recommended. If standard fluorescent chelating dyes are to be used for normalising samples, then we recommend taking a sample of the extract before the 95°C step. Alternatively, you can generate a standard curve using a previously made extract that has been quantified.
