Looking into the Quantification of Forensic Samples with Real-Time PCR.

The quantification of human DNA extracts from forensic samples plays a key role in the forensic genetics process, ensuring maximum efficiency and avoiding repeated analyses, over-amplified samples, or unnecessary examinations. In our laboratory, we use the Quantifiler Trio system to quantify DNA extracts from a wide range of samples extracted from traces (bloodstains, saliva, semen, tissues, etc.), including swabs from touched objects, which are very numerous in the forensic context.
