Forensic swab microFLOQ®

for DNAflocked

Rapid DNA testing made portable MicroFLOQ® is an innovative DNA collection tool featuring a micro flocked swab-head co-developed* by French Gendarmerie Forensic Research Institute (IRCGN™) and Copan. Direct PCR Forensic DNA analysis MicroFLOQ® enables you to obtain a 24 DNA markers profile in less than 2 hours, skipping the DNA extraction step. This is possible thanks to the lysing treatment applied on the fibers, which breaks the cells upon contact. How to use microFLOQ® Subsampling Direct amplification of a sample on a microFLOQ® consumes a tiny portion of the specimen, preserving valuable evidence for re-analysis or additional testing. Subsampling can be performed first on all stains with no additional testing needed if the results are acceptable. If the first results are inconclusive, then the entire sample can be collected and extracted using traditional methods. Cooperation is in our DNA microFLOQ® is the result of our hand-to-hand collaboration with the IRCGN™, which led to the patent deposition – now pending. FLOQ® technology This Swab is empowered by the FLOQ® technology for superior sample adsorption and release. Sensitive & cost effective No extraction step needed; all the DNA collected can be directly amplified. The breaking point makes microFLOQ easy to process with standard 96-well PCR microplates. Rapid Time to result in less than 2 hours for direct sampling or subsampling. On site collection Quick DNA testing directly on the scene for multiple samples: saliva, blood, semen, sweat, tissues, touch DNA.
