The service and engineer teams from Aurora Biomed helped our team to customize our Versa programs to meet our needs!
Andre Kartick and Cristina Servidio spearheaded the internal validation for the Versa 1100 at DNA Labs International. We have three instruments in total, one for post PCR processing for the Verogen Whole Genome mtDNA, ForenSeq Signature Prep Primer Set B, and Kintelligence systems, and two for Differential Digestion, quantitation, normalization, and amplification. These internal validations were all completed in 2021!
DNA Labs International is looking forward to using the VERSA instruments to streamline sexual assault kit processing and to help usher in the new era of Next Generation Sequencing technology.
Cristina is the Technical Leader at DNA Labs International, previously worked for the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory (AFDIL), and is a George Washington University alum.
Andre is a Serologist and Validation Support at DNA Labs international, previously interned for the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force, and is a Florida State University alum.
"The VERSA Spotter has enabled our lab to construct our own microarrays. Thanks to the microarray printer, we now are easily construct microarrays to analyze glycan-protein interactions which is a significant resource to our lab in particular."
"Our two VERSA 10s as well as our two VERSA 1100s have primarily been used to automate our COVID-19 assay. The hands-free automation on these instruments has drastically increased our throughput while lowering report turn-around-times."
"We have three instruments in total. DNA Labs International is looking forward to using the VERSA instruments (VERSA 1100) to streamline sexual assault kit processing and to help usher in the new era of Next Generation Sequencing technology."
“…Having this workstation, we are able to increase our productivity immensely. There are a lot of options for the machine. We were able to get a customized tray and set up an assay that fulfils all of our needs. The machine is easy to program. I am able to recalibrate the machine to ensure that my fill volume remains accurate and consistent…”
