The innuPREP Forensic Kit is a sophisticated tool optimized specifically for isolating genomic DNA from tiny samples and from highly contaminated forensic specimens. Extraction has already been successfully tested for a large number of starting materials, such as blood, traces of blood, hair, hair roots, beard stubble, finger nails, postage stamps, cigarette butts, chewing gum, traces of sperm, swab samples and finger prints on a variety of surfaces. The novel extraction chemistry used also makes it possible to recover severely degraded nucleic acids. In addition, CE-IVD certification makes the innuPREP Forensic Kit suitable for use in in-vitro diagnostic applications.
