Direct PCR | Forensic DNA analysis
MicroFLOQ® enables you to obtain a 24 DNA markers profile in less than 2 hours, skipping the DNA extraction step. This is possible thanks to the lysing treatment applied on the fibers, which breaks the cells upon contact.
How to use microFLOQ® | Subsampling
Direct amplification of a sample on a microFLOQ® consumes a tiny portion of the specimen, preserving valuable evidence for re-analysis or additional testing.
Subsampling can be performed first on all stains with no additional testing needed if the results are acceptable. If the first results are inconclusive, then the entire sample can be collected and extracted using traditional methods.
