Quantifiler trio quantification kit

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The Quantifiler Trio Quantification kit is a real-time PCR-based DNA quantification system designed to measure the quantity and quality of human DNA in forensic and human identification samples. The kit provides a reliable and sensitive method for determining the human DNA concentration in a sample prior to downstream processing, such as STR analysis.

The extracted DNA samples were quantified using a Quantifiler Trio Quantification kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and an Applied Biosystems 7500 Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) System (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The cycling parameters were set and data analysis was performed in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer. The samples were amplified in triplicate. The DNA concentration was adjusted to 1.0 ng/μL in a final PCR mixture volume of 25 μL. The samples with higher DNA concentrations were diluted to 1 ng/μL.
The PCR product (1 μL) was added to 8.5 μL of highly deionized (Hi-Di) formamide (Applied Biosystems, Zug, Switzerland) and 0.5 μL of 600 LIZ (20–600 nucleotide range, Applied Biosystems) Size Standard (Applied Biosystems). STR amplification was performed using 1 ng of template DNA and an AmpFLSTR Identifiler PCR Amplification Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Amplification was performed using an ABI Prism 310 Genetic Analyzer, and the data were analyzed with GeneMapper ID software v3.2.1 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA).

Evaluating Quantifiler Trio DNA Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA was quantified using the Quantifiler™ Trio Quantification Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA), according to manufacturer's instructions. Two autosomal targets were amplified and used to calculate the degradation index (DI). DI values ≤1 indicate good quality DNA, while higher DI values indicate greater levels of DNA degradation [36] .
The following samples were prepared and tested (Table 1): (Expt.1) Benchmark (standard samples as recommended by the manufacturer), each sample had 1 ng DNA input and sample number was limited to per sequencing run, including one positive (2800 M, Verogen) and one negative (water) control. (Expt. 2 and 3) Sensitivity: DNA input ranged from 800 pg to 50 pg. (Expt. 4) Nine degraded DNA samples, generated by boiling at 95 • C for up to 60 min, as well as 21 challenging DNA samples derived from bones, blood cards, and teeth: DIs ranged from 1 to 44.6. (Expt. 5-8) Mixed DNA samples had an input of 1 ng DNA: twoperson mixtures ranging from 1:1-1:50, and three-to six-person mixtures at various ratios.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
