NGS sample prep for processing challenging forensic specimens
Join us for the free webinar "Accelerate your forensic DNA analyses with Ion Torrent™ NGS automation". Joseph Chang, R&D scientist, will discuss how targeted sequencing panels for identity and ancestry applications—utilizing the Ion AmpliSeq™ technology—can serve as an adjunct to traditional CE-based STR analysis. He will also discuss how pairing of the Ion Chef™ System with the Ion S5™ System or the Ion PGM™ System provides a seamless workflow for forensic laboratories, enabling automated library construction and template preparation as well as chip loading. With just 15 minutes of hands-on instrument setup time, the ‘walk-away’ Ion Chef workflows provide forensic scientists with greater flexibility to process challenging forensic specimens.
