The Beckman Coulter GenomeLab Human STR Primer Set is designed for use with the company’s CEQ instruments and GenomeLab GeXP Genetic Analysis Systems. The set is used to determine the purity and quality of DNA, for sample tracking and contamination monitoring. It is useful in labs with large numbers of DNA samples in applications such as clinical trials, tissue culture facilities and core labs, and has been optimized to reduce analysis time. Loci known to be problematic in competitive kits have been excluded from the GenomeLab primer set. The sit is provided in a vial containing 12 primer pairs to amplify 11 STR loci and one gender-determining locus. Each vial requires no preparation and contains reagents for 48 reactions. The GenomeLab STR Primer Set is for research use only, not for forensic and not for human linkage analysis.
