The DS Lociler system gives you the ability to test the 16 loci (including the 13 FBI CODIS loci) at a significantly lower cost than by using systems designed by other corporations.
For those not technically minded, the 13 FBI CODIS regions include the 8 regions that Interpol use as their standard set of recognised regions. The complete set of 13 were chosen in 1999, to be the standard set of 13 for forensic and other profiling systems, and has been adopted by most governments of the world. Using the same regions as other governments allows you to better share and swap data that is obviously going to be more useful and relevant since the regions tested are the same.
The DS- Lociler system has another unique advantage in that it can run on any DNA analysis equipment and therefore you do not need to purchase expensive multi-laser fluorescent systems, or be locked into using other company's expensive reagents and consumables.
The DS - Lociler can run on any system you are using, even including silver staining!
Ideally the DS - Lociler can be run extremely inexpensively on the DNA SOLUTIONS Gene Scan, which has minimal operating costs once the initial unit has been purchased. The DS Gene Scan can analyse ANY DNA product (less than 600 base pairs is optimal for high resolution). The DS Gene Scan can determine products to 1 base pair and can also be used for sequencing.
The DS Locilers' advantage comes from the DNA products which have been designed not to have overlapping allele sizes. Therefore less fluorescent labels are required, reducing cost and reducing the need for multiple lasers and detectors in analysis equipment, which in turn drastically reduces set-up cost and possible breakdowns and repairs.
All equipment, from thermal cyclers to a real time DNA fragment size analyser, can be supplied at prices not found anywhere else in the world.
