Instructions for Use of Product AS1210.

The DNA IQ™ Casework Sample Kit for Maxwell^® 16 is used with the Maxwell^® 16 LEV Instrument (Cat.# AS1002) and is specifically designed for optimal extraction of DNA from forensic casework samples. These samples may include blood stains, semen stains, hair, cigarette butts, tissue samples and trace or "touch" DNA samples regularly encountered in forensic DNA analysis. The Maxwell^® 16 LEV Instrument is supplied with preprogrammed purification procedures and designed for use with predispensed reagent cartridges, eluting DNA samples into small, concentrated volumes. The instrument can process up to 16 samples in approximately 30 minutes, and the purified DNA can be used directly in genetic STR amplification reactions for forensic profile analysis or can be quantitated prior to STR amplification.
