What is the difference between forensicGEM™ and prepGEM™?
The difference lies in the formulations of the forensicGEM™ and prepGEM™ kits and the extra QC and validation that goes into making the forensicGEM™ products. Because most forensicGEM™ DNA extraction will be used with large multiplex STR analysis kits such as Identifiler and Profiler, the forensicGEM™ buffers have to be suited for these sensitive reaction conditions. With the prepGEM™ range, most of the downstream applications are more robust and so we can use more powerful buffers and additives. ForensicGEM™ also undergoes substantially more tests at a major forensic laboratory before being released for sale.
