Prepare DNA libraries to genotype database or casework reference samples in a single run

Each of our sample preparation instruments has dedicated automated protocols that focus on key aspects for DNA purification in forensic case work, such as complete sample traceability, superior inhibitor removal, and high process safety. Furthermore, the speed and reliability of these instruments meet the requirements of reference work and databasing. Our fully automated assay setup instruments reduce hands-on time, helping to improve time-to-result and prevent contamination. The Investigator assay kits feature very fast reaction speeds, high sensitivity, and excellent performance that has been validated for the conditions typical for forensic case work. Whatever your molecular forensics requirements are, you can trust QIAGEN.

Reference samples are typically of high quality and quantity, and the outcome of STR analysis of these samples is more predictable compared to unknown casework samples. This permits a streamlined process, eliminating the need for sample extraction or quantification, and allows direct PCR from an FTA punch or crude lysate of a buccal swab. QIAGEN has developed the new Investigator STR GO! Kits facilitating direct amplification. Two assay formats are now available: Investigator IDplex GO! Kit, covering the CODIS set of markers and the new Investigator ESSplex SE GO! Kit, covering the European Standard Set (ESS), including SE33. This webinar will outline the benefits of the Investigator STR GO! Kits, highlighting the optimization of these kits for direct amplification, and also discuss:  Improved primer design Shorter-PCR cycling protocols Streamlined reaction setup Fast and convenient lysis protocol for buccal swabs Please join us to learn how to improve results and streamline your forensic STR analysis.

This webinar describes the use of real-time PCR in ingredient authenticity testing with specific reference to the example of detecting pork in manufactured foods. This type of testing could have a role to play in certification of foods and pharmaceuticals as suitable for consumption by particular religious or ethnic groups. Real-time PCR also has applications in the assessment of food quality and safety. Testing facilities have to rule out the use of cheaper "filler" in expensive foodstuffs and show the absence of non-pathogenic organic contaminants in food and animal feed. This webinar provides details on the types of ingredient authenticity testing that can be done using real-time PCR and shows data on the specificity and sensitivity of assays for the detection of pork in manaufactured foods.

Our mericon real-time PCR-based ingredient authentication kits are proven technology that has been refined and made easy to give accurate and reliable results. Instruments such as the QIAgility for automated reaction setup and the innovative Rotor-Gene Q thermal cycler further standardize and streamline your workflow. Whether you are testing marzipan to confirm that it contains no apricot kernel paste or minced meat to prove that it is free of pork or beef, you can trust our mericon sample preparation and assay kits. After all, trust is the most important ingredient.

The GeneRead QIAact Targeted Panels are purpose-built for clinical research labs, designed to identify new variants of potential interest in meaningful pathway genes. Content is carefully selected, targeting only genes and variants that are important to specific disease areas. The QIAGEN Knowledge Base was built to help you interpret variants in their clinical context, but is also used to direct the selection process for the Target Enrichment panel design by focusing on significant genes and genomic regions for translational and clinical research. The QIAGEN curation process is an industry-leading, best-in-class pipeline with over 15 years of refinement. Having been started as a comprehensive biological knowledge base, it has now been expanded to include clinically relevant findings from drug labels, practice guidelines, clinical trials, primary literature and curated clinical cases. The same content is available in QIAGEN Clinical Insight, which provides a solution for variant interpretation and reporting.

The GeneReader NGS System is now available with an extensive control set and data derived from the Horizon Quantitative Multiplex FFPE Reference Standards containing fully-characterized, cancer-relevant variants. This control set and protocol are critical in helping you set up, test and troubleshoot your GeneReader NGS System. You can be assured that your FFPE workflow is running accurately, consistently and effectively from day one.
