Key features of both kits
 

  • Improves the overall yield, concentration, and purity of DNA isolated from forensic samples, while enabling removal of PCR inhibitors
  • Improves the downstream genotyping success rate, to help ensure that critical and often limited casework samples can be successfully analyzed
  • Contains specially developed magnetic particles and reagents that optimize DNA binding and elution of DNA in a small volume
  • Offers streamlined protocols to process an extensive variety of forensic sample types
  • The PrepFiler BTA kit includes PrepFiler BTA Lysis Buffer to successfully process more challenging samples
