STR Technology

Investigator human identification PCR kits — QIAGEN Quality

QIAGEN's Investigator STR portfolio of high-quality assays for human identification, with versatile coverage of markers recommended by international standards, including ESS, ISSOL, CODIS, and DAD. The assay kits are validated for the conditions encountered during forensic casework in internal studies and external field testing. Our approach enables pre-screening with triplex and hexaplex subsets, combinatorial bridging between CODIS and ESS, and application of deletion/insertion polymorphisms for human identification.

The portfolio includes the new Investigator STR Plus Kits, with new features, including a PCR speed of around 90 minutes, excellent inhibitor resistance and peak balance, and very high sensitivity and linearity. These new kits are available in ESS- and CODIS-compliant formats. Whatever your human identification and forensic testing needs, QIAGEN has an assay that will rise to the challenge. You can trust your case to QIAGEN.

Autosomal Standard STR Markers

Get rapid, reliable kits covering the loci of the new European Standard Set (ESS) or the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) core.

Kits for internationally recommended standards for DNA databasing

Supplementary & Combinatorial Autosomal STR Markers

Kits for prescreening and complementary testing give you more possibilities. Non-standard loci can give higher discriminatory power.
