Abstract excerpt
The AmpFlSTR(®) NGM™ kit shows an increased sensitivity compared to previous AmpFlSTR(®) kits, and the addition of a 29th PCR cycle was found to be the major cause for this. During in-house validation, we evaluated whether the increased sensitivity requires elevation of the stochastic threshold (below which alleles are prone to drop out due to low template amplification effects). To determine the stochastic...
