Product Description
STR profiling and other forensic workflows depend on knowing exactly how much human DNA is present. This Zymo Research qPCR kit detects and quantifies human DNA with high specificity and sensitivity, even when it is mixed with bacterial, fungal, animal or plant DNA. It is a valuable tool for forensic and anthropological labs.
This listing is for catalog number E2005: Femto Human DNA Quantification Kit, 100 Reactions. The assay reliably measures as little as 20 fg from 1 µl of purified DNA derived from biological fluids, human cell cultures, anthropological or forensic samples. Because it ignores non-human background, it gives an accurate human-specific input value for downstream applications. The kit includes premix and standards for 100 reactions. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order and keep your bench stocked.
Key Features
- Human-specific – Quantifies human DNA amid non-human DNA backgrounds.
