ForenSeq DNA Signature Prep Kit

Generate more comprehensive DNA profiles for up to 96 DNA samples with fewer than two hours of hands-on time using our simple, plate-based workflow. The ForenSeq DNA Signature Prep Kit is the only next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based short-tandem repeat (STR) sequencing chemistry approved for upload to the National DNA Index System (NDIS) for casework. Combining over 200 markers, including autosomal, X- and Y-STRs, identity-informative and phenotypic-informative SNPs into a single, streamlined workflow, the kit eliminates the need to run multiple STR tests.
