Validated Forensic DNA Automation Systems

Hamilton’s STAR liquid handling platform The pipetting performance and monitoring/audit trail features of Hamilton’s STAR liquid handling platform have been combined with Sorenson Forensics’ expertise in method validation, thus providing validated automation systems suited for DNA analysis in casework and databasing applications.

Hamilton’s MICROLAB STAR automated pipetting workstation features unique air displacement pipetting technology for high accuracy and precision. In addition, the proprietary Total Aspiration and Dispense Monitoring (TADM) capability monitors the air pressure in each pipetting channel in real time to verify a sample has been successfully transferred. This provides a fully traceable audit trail and the documentation to support casework challenges.

Sorenson Forensics’ team of DNA analysts has validated third-party chemistry kits and methods on the Hamilton MICROLAB STAR platform, documenting new ones as they are introduced. The Sorenson facility is ASCLD-ISO accredited and compliant with SWGDAM validation criteria and FBI QA Standards.
