QIAGEN has partnered with Hamilton Robotics to produce automated, high-throughput solutions for processing samples for human identity databases.
The company's new line of STAR Q (STAR Q Punch AS, STAR Q SP/AS, and STAR Q Swab AS) instruments, for sample preparation or assay setup, are part of the workflow, as is the new Quality Sensor in Investigator STR PCR kits.
According to Thomas Schnibbe, PhD, senior director and head of global forensics at QIAGEN, the solutions will "help increase capacity and relieve backlogs in law enforcement database laboratories."
