Novel Marker for High Sensitivity Detection of Human DNA

Technology Overview

Human DNA contamination is an issue in the process of manufacturing devices for molecular and genomic applications. Such devices need to be certified human DNA free for sensitive downstream processes. 

RP had identified a novel target for detection of human DNA and developed a highly sensitive PCR based detection method for presence of human DNA based on this target. The method is specific, sensitive and with low cost. It meets the requirement described in the ISO 18385 standard (Minimizing the risk of human DNA contamination in products used to collect, store and analyse biological material for forensic purposes) in terms of detection sensitivity. 




Novel Marker for High Sensitivity Human DNA Detection

Technology Features

  • Simple and reproducible

  • Superior sensitivity level in human DNA detection. Compared to a commercial kit available in the market, this method is at least 500 times more sensitive.

     
     

Potential Applications

  • Certification of human DNA-free in manufactured products

  • Identification of human remains in forensic samples

  • Detection of other animal species for either identification or monitoring purposes.

     
     

Benefits

  • With higher sensitivity level, efficient routine tests procedure can be established by using less samples volume or even pooled samples, saving on the overall test cost.

  • Products can meet higher standard of requirement especially in the molecular biology and genomic DNA related applications. 

Commercialisation

  • This technology is available for  licensing and  technology transfer.
