CCRFSL generated the STR mixture data in their laboratory. DNA quantity was measured with Applied Biosystems® (AB, Foster City, CA) Quantifier® Duo quantification kit using a 7500 SDS Real‐Time PCR System. Each 0.5 ng DNA mixture sample was amplified using the PowerPlex® Fusion amplification system (Promega, Madison, WI).
A 0.5 μL volume of amplified DNA product was size‐separated using an AB 3500 genetic analyzer. The analyzer recorded electropherogram (EPG) data as .hid files. CCRFSL determined a ratio of 0.37 for 3130 to 3500 AB genetic analyzer relative fluorescence units (RFU). TrueAllele analysis multiplied peak heights by this ratio, rescaling 3500 data down to the 3130 levels specified in prior probability parameters.
