investigating sexual assault cases, why use Y?
Solve more cases with the YFiler® kit

Forensic scientists often face challenges when investigating sex crimes with conventional DNA analysis methods because of the complex male, female DNA mixtures that often yield ambiguous or inconclusive results with autosomal STRs. AmpFℓSTR® Yfiler® PCR Amplification Kit from Life Technologies based on Y-STR testing can distinguish more than 98% of all unrelated males from one another, and therefore offers the discriminatory power necessary to conduct meaningful forensic DNA analysis.

Why use Y? Robust performance of Yfiler® kit
Lutz Roewer, Professor of Forensic Genetics at the Charité Berlin and co-founder of YHRD database explains how Y-STR analysis can help solve more sex crime cases. Discover how to interpret the evidence and present the data at the court with confidence.

Standard autosomal STR analysis may be unable to detect the minor male contributor in various samples, while the Yfiler® kit can routinely detect a minor male contributor present at less than 1:1000.
