Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2009, $23,783)

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has proposed to validate the use of the Applied Biosystem's Identifiler Direct® amplification kit for use on buccal swabs. This innovative procedure will help increase the speed and efficiency with which buccal swabs are processed by eliminating the need for DNA extraction, thus increasing the laboratory's capacity to process more samples, as well as cutting the overall cost of analysis. nca/ncf
