8 STAR Q AS Instruments Brochure 12/2016 Investigator STR GO! Kits and Quality Sensor™ When processing reference samples that may be used as evidence in court, or to determine the outcome of a paternity case, you need to have an STR profile you can trust, containing the right information. With this in mind, QIAGEN’s Investigator STR GO! assay portfolio provides convenient direct amplification of all current international STR standards: the Combined DNA Index (CODIS) loci or the European Standard Set (ESS) loci. Benefits of Investigator STR GO! Kits include: • Ideal for reference samples from blood or buccal cells on FTA paper or from swabs • Fully validated assay setup on STAR Q Punch AS and STAR Q Swab AS Instruments • Optimized time-to-result attained as a consequence of fast process times • Integrated performance control due the Quality Sensor • Minimized allelic overlap, reducing the risk of misinterpretation and enhancing result quality • Validated for use in human identification according to SWGDAM and ENFSI guidelines Figure 7.
