Casework Direct System

Rapidly Process Sexual Assault Evidence and Low Abundance DNA Samples

• No-wash protocol maximizes the chance of recovering DNA from trace samples
• Quickly generates lysates that are compatible with PowerQuant®, Plexor® HY and PowerPlex® Systems
• Useful for Y-screening and selection of evidentiary samples for STR testing
• Note: The Casework Direct System (Cat.# DC4560, DC4561) replaces the custom version of the Casework Direct Kit, Custom (Cat.# AX4560). No changes have been made to the product composition and, therefore, no performance changes are expected during the migration of the product from the custom to catalog version.

Rapidly Process Challenging Sample Types

The sheer volume of property crime and sexual assault evidentiary samples submitted to forensic laboratories has compelled many laboratories to actively seek out better solutions for processing these challenging sample types. The Casework Direct System is designed to rapidly process swabs from casework samples or cuttings of sexual assault swabs and stained clothing. (Read more in this white paper—download article.)

Unlike competing kits, lysates generated with the Casework Direct System are compatible with our quantification and STR amplification product lines. These lysates may be amplified with the PowerQuant® or Plexor® HY Systems to screen sexual assault samples for male DNA and to normalize human template for STR amplification with one of the PowerPlex® STR Systems. 

When used with the PowerQuant® System, valuable workflow information such as the presence/absence of male DNA, degradation or potential PCR inhibition is provided.
