IDseek® OmniSTR™ Validated: A Breakthrough in Forensic DNA   (1)

Seamless Transition to MPS with RC-PCR Technology With the introduction of the novel and innovative Reverse Complement PCR (RC-PCR) technology, NimaGen is setting a new standard in forensic DNA analysis with their IDseek® Forensic MPS Kit Portfolio. Allowing the forensic community to safely and simply transition from classic Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) to Massively Parallel Sequencing (MPS) – without compromise. One closed-tube, single reaction workflow with simultaneous indexing and target amplification reduces labor time, minimizes pipetting errors and prevents sample swapping or contamination; Reaction kinetics of RC-PCR result in improved specificity and sensitivity, allowing the recovery of more complete profiles from challenging samples; High on-target read percentage by limiting off-target and primer-dimer reads result in optimal use of flow cell capacity and reduced sequencing cost. Have Questions? We're Here to Help! Contact our team today to learn more about how RC-PCR technology can enhance your lab's forensic DNA workflows. Email: info@nimagen.comPhone: +31 24 820 02 40

Radboud University & NimaGen: Genetic technique reveals pathogens much more accurately

''‘For example, in the Netherlands we monitor coronavirus in hospitals and wastewater, but we can easily expand that to other pathogens’, Coolen says. ‘In addition, we already apply this technique weekly in clinical diagnostics to detect so-called non-tuberculosis mycobacteria, a growing medical problem.''   ''Especially when looking for tiny amounts of a pathogen's DNA in a sea of contamination, such as in wastewater. Jordy Coolen, a PhD student at Radboud university medical center, came up with several solutions to implement sequencing in routine care. His work also included a collaboration with the company NimaGen. With relatively simple steps and lower costs, he was able to very sensitively analyze the genome of microorganisms.''   Link to Radboud University collaboration article: https://www.radboudumc.nl/en/news-items/2023/genetic-technique-reveals-pathogens-much-more-accurately
