Male Control DNA M1 (200µl/0,5)

Supplied at 0.5 ng/µL in a 200 µL vial, this QIAGEN control DNA serves as a ready-to-use reference standard for short tandem repeat (STR) profiling, forensic identification, and paternity testing workflows. The Male Control DNA M1 preparation provides a validated template for monitoring amplification efficiency, peak balance, and allele calling accuracy across multiplex PCR reactions. Recommended for storage at -20 °C in aliquots to limit freeze-thaw cycles, the control is commonly paired with the QIAGEN Investigator kit and other commercial STR chemistries, where it acts as a positive amplification control alongside female and allelic-ladder references. Routine uses include contamination assessment during casework validation, training new analysts on capillary electrophoresis profiles, and benchmarking sensitivity on instruments such as the Applied Biosystems 3500 or 3130 genetic analyzers. Each lot is characterized with the relevant multiplex chemistry, supporting reliable interpretation of Y-STR and autosomal loci in identity and relationship-testing laboratories.
