Genetic Identity Reference Information

Validation Resources

Validation of DNA-typing products in a forensic laboratory is often considered a burdensome and confusing requirement. Yet, full product validation is required for DNA-typing products to be accepted by regulatory agencies and as evidence in the courtroom. Promega is committed to working with the forensic DNA-typing community to meet product validation requirements and offers the following validation resources:

Validation of STR Systems Reference Manual

Validation Guide for the DNA IQReference Sample Kit for Maxwell® 16

Validation Guide for the Plexor® HY System

These resources will:

  • Familiarize you with the validation steps required to adopt a new product in your laboratory.

  • Recommend steps that can reduce a forensic laboratory’s internal validation efforts to a few weeks.

Note: These manuals are in .pdf format.
