TECHNOLOGY CAPABILITY

Accurate Mixed DNA Deconvolution

Find and accurately identify DNA profiles in complex mixtures

Clear

Provide clear and definitive results that can be easily understood, explained, and verified.

Precise

Identify and deconvolve individual genetic profiles from mixed DNA with unprecedented precision and accuracy.

Simple

Uncover actionable information from DNA samples once thought too complex for reliable analysis.

How It Works

Uncover Genetic Profiles In Complex Samples

Identify contributors in DNA mixtures and extract their individual genetic profiles with unparalleled precision and accuracy, even in highly complex mixtures. No user assumptions required.

Accurate

Extract individual profiles from DNA mixtures of up to 4 contributors with >99.999% accuracy, mixtures of between 5 and 7 contributors with >99% accuracy, and >97% accuracy in 8 contributor mixtures*

Reliable

Tested on over 250,000 unique 2-8 contributor mixtures across varied demographics, e.g. gender, race, ethnicity*

Fast

Average runtime for analysis is <1 minute for mixtures of 2-8 contributors*

Easy to integrate

No calibration, tuning, or user assumptions are required*
