Forensic Application Solutions

Forensic laboratories face ever-increasing demands to enhance their efficiency and obtain reliable outcomes from complex and demanding samples. In response to these demands, forensic facilities are continually refining their workflows. That’s why we offer automation solutions- comprehensive, hands-free systems that enable successful processing, even for the most demanding samples. Whether you operate in a smaller laboratory or a higher-capacity facility, we have scalable solutions for labs of all sizes. Together, we are advancing the possibilities in life sciences.

Metabolite Extraction & Drugs of Abuse with SPE

The VERSA SPE Workstation optimizes solid-phase extraction (SPE) protocols for substances of abuse and metabolites of interest from biological fluids. With the ability to process up to 72 cartridges in a single run, it offers unmatched scalability and precision, supporting forensic toxicology and clinical research efforts.

NGS Library Preparation

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) holds immense promise in genomics, offering unprecedented advantages over traditional methods, but its widespread adoption is hindered by the complex bottleneck of library preparation. To optimize the benefits of NGS in forensic DNA analysis, Aurora Biomed collaborated with Verogen (now a Qiagen company) and provided hands-free automation solutions.

Nucleic Acid Purification

The ADNap 20 system transforms nucleic acid extraction with its 96-channel magnetic head technology. Capable of processing blood, saliva, and swab samples, this high-throughput system ensures fast and reliable results, making it a versatile choice for both research and diagnostics.

PCR Plate/Sample Preparation

Accurate DNA quantification and Normalization is vital for downstream applications. VERSA automation seamlessly integrates DNA quantification kits, ensuring consistent, reproducible results for STR PCR assays, ensuring consistent and reproducible results.

Spotting

The high-precision spotting capabilities of our systems ensure consistent and reliable deposition of nanoliter to microliter volumes of cells, DNA, and proteins. Whether for microarray printing, assay development, or diagnostic applications, our spotting technology offers unmatched accuracy, enabling uniform spots and reducing variability, even at high throughput levels.

Sexual Assault Kit Processing

Streamline the processing of sexual assault evidence with automated liquid handling systems using DNase I-based differential digestion protocols. Proven in the field by the Oakland Police Department and Contra Costa County, our systems eliminate backlogs and repetitive manual steps, providing reliable outcomes and saving time.
