ANZFSS 24^th International Symposium

Cliftons Perth, Parmelia House, 191 St Georges Terrace, Perth | 9am – 12pm, Sunday, 9th September

Facilitators:

Yong Yi, Director, IntegenX, a part of Thermo Fisher Scientific

Abstract:

Rapid DNA technologies emerged over a decade ago as a way to confirm a suspect’s identity while in custody. With the passage of the Rapid DNA Act of 2017, in the United States, several major state jail systems are now executing state-wide implementation of Rapid DNA in arrestee testing. Today, Rapid DNA systems are also used around the world for various additional applications. Through case studies of forensic labs that have established Rapid DNA in their workflows, this workshop will examine system features and performance, provide best practices city-, state-, or country-wide implementations, and discuss legal considerations in different countries.

Abstract:

For over 25 years Applied Biosystems has been listening to valuable customer feedback surrounding the ever-evolving needs of the forensic community. In the last few years as labs worked to bring expanded multiplex kits online a new set data interpretation challenges arose. Labs have been asking for ways to decrease analysis time, increase confidence in resultant data, and for a more efficient processing workflow.
The evolving needs of the forensic community and YOUR input have culminated in the latest advancements to 3500 Data Collection and GMID-X analysis software- a partnership like vegemite/marmite and toast.
Pull-up reduction, off-scale data recovery, and added flexibility are just some of the features 3500 Data Collection v4 has to address YOUR needs for efficiency and decreased analysis time. Based on your input, Win10 compatibility and better integration with Probabilistic genotyping SW lead to a GMID-X v1.6 that has been improved to streamline data export and support the new DC features.
Imagine what you could do with the time saved on data analysis and increased first pass success rates. To learn how this partnership can enable YOU to get from sample to answer faster, join us for a luncheon workshop on 10th Sept, Monday.

Abstract:

Compound Discoverer 3.0 is a unique and multifaceted approach to small molecule structural identification with High Resolution Mass Spectrometry. Learning from our success with Proteome Discoverer from Proteomics Research, and incorporating Mass Frontier with detailed PCA, statistics and visualization, Thermo Fisher Scientific created Compound Discoverer. In its latest incarnation (version 3.0) this is a fully flexible and customizable toolkit for processing your data in unprecedented ways, the way you want and need it. We will demonstrate unique functions of the Compound Discoverer software to perform targeted unknown and unknown unknown analysis in equine anti-doping screening. We will also introduce the new Acquire X workflow in Xcalibur to see how it can enhance the data quality and quantity for mining of complicated metabolomics samples with the newly released Thermo Scientific Orbitrap ID-X Tribrid Mass Spectrometer System.
