Forensic Application Solutions

Forensic labs face increasing demands for speed and accuracy. Our hands-free automation solutions streamline workflows, ensuring precise, reliable results—even for complex samples. Scalable for labs of all sizes, our technology boosts productivity, reduces errors, and accelerates forensic analysis.

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 are crucial for successful downstream applications. VERSA automation integrates DNA quantification kits for consistent, reproducible results in STR PCR assays, ensuring precision and reliability every time.

Spotting

Our advanced systems deliver high-precision spotting, ensuring consistent deposition of nanoliter to microliter volumes of cells, DNA, and proteins. Ideal for microarray printing, assay development, and diagnostics, our technology guarantees uniform spots, reduces variability, and maintains accuracy at high throughput levels.

Sexual Assault Kit Processing

Simplify the processing of sexual assault evidence with our automated liquid handling systems, utilizing DNase I-based differential digestion protocols. Trusted by the Oakland Police Department and Contra Costa County, our systems eliminate backlogs, reduce manual labor, and deliver reliable results, saving valuable time while enhancing efficiency.
