THE COMPLETE PICTURE
A workflow built around the application.
Reference-sample processing starts with a defined collection format. Card-based workflows, direct amplification and different STR marker sets offer distinct routes. For kinship work, the relationship question guides marker selection and the analysis plan.
- Choose a collection format
- Select the relevant STR markers
- Review the analysis system

Collection & preparation
Compare NUCLEIC-CARD and the collection device, then review the CPA200 where automated card punching is part of the laboratory workflow. These are different products with different roles.
Sample collection
Copan NUCLEIC-CARD Sample Collection Device
An integrated buccal-sample collection system combining a swab, indicating card and protective holder.
Sample collection
CPA200 Semi-Automated Puncher
A semi-automated card puncher for preparing reference samples while maintaining sample traceability.

Amplification & markers
GlobalFiler Express and VeriFiler Express address direct-amplification workflows. Yfiler Plus provides a Y-STR pathway; its role differs from autosomal STR analysis. Select the marker system for the actual identification or relationship question.
STR kits and thermal cyclers
GlobalFiler Express PCR Amplification Kit
Direct-amplification STR chemistry for single-source reference and database samples.
STR kits and thermal cyclers
VeriFiler Express PCR Amplification Kit
A 25-marker direct-amplification kit for reference, database and relationship-testing workflows.
STR kits and thermal cyclers
Yfiler Plus PCR Amplification Kit
A 27-locus Y-STR multiplex for male-lineage analysis and challenging mixed forensic samples.

Profile analysis
Review SeqStudio HID and GeneMapper ID-X together with the selected assay. Data collection, allele calling and interpretation should fit the laboratory’s validated workflow.
Capillary electrophoresis
SeqStudio Genetic Analyzer for Human Identification
A four-capillary benchtop genetic analyzer for STR fragment analysis and Sanger sequencing in HID workflows.
Analysis software
GeneMapper ID-X Software
STR data analysis and profile review with quality flags, multi-user project management and mixture-assessment tools.
BEFORE YOU SPECIFY
Make the important connections.
Define the collection system
A card, a collection device and an automated punch are separate decisions. Confirm their roles and compatibility before specifying a combined workflow.
Match the marker question
Autosomal STR and Y-STR assays provide different information. A kinship application should not be reduced to a kit name alone.
Connect preparation and analysis
Include the sample format, amplification kit, analyzer and software in the same review. Direct amplification still requires the appropriate downstream analysis.
