This validation study was not as comprehensive as PBSO's validation of the BioMek® 2000, because the platform and reagents used were the same. The differences include the use of the Slicprep™ 96 Device during extraction and the slight modifications to protocol that were made to accommodate this device.application/pdfenCell and Developmental BiologyComputational BiologyEquipment and SuppliesForensic Science and TechnologyGeneticsGenetics and GenomicsGenetic StructuresHealth Information TechnologyInvestigative TechniquesLife SciencesMedicine and Health SciencesOther Genetics and GenomicsSlicPrep 96forensic samplesBioMek 2000platformreagentsprotocolextraction processProfessional Report
