Biography: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Andrew Sawin received undergraduate training at Alma College, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry. He is currently a second year graduate student at Marshall University where he is majoring in forensic science. He is scheduled to complete his graduate coursework on May 7, 2011, with emphases in forensic DNA analysis and crime scene investigation, and expects to begin employment in one of these fields later this year.<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A comparative analysis of Quantifiler\u00ae<\/sup> Duo and Plexor\u00ae<\/sup>HY DNA quantification systems was conducted to assist forensic laboratories in choosing the combined human-male DNA quantification method that best meets their needs while identifying potential benefits of each system. The systems evaluated were internally validated at Marshall University Forensic Science Center prior to the initiation of this study. This study consisted of an identical sample comparison of each system\u2019s standard curve quality metrics, sensitivity, precision, reproducibility, contamination, and mixture evaluation. Future studies include the addition of the MavenQSTTM<\/sup> quantification system to the comparison study as well as a study to determine the lowest concentration sample at which a Short Tandem Repeat or STR profile of equal or superior quality may be obtained.<\/p>\n
