A domestic test system for personal identification has been developed in Crimea
At the Research Engineering Center “Genetic and Cellular Biotechnologies” of the Crimean Federal University. Vernadsky developed a test system for laboratory research on personal identification. Experts say that domestic technology has every chance to occupy its niche in the market, where at the moment there are practically no similar solutions, Izvestia writes.
The test system is based on the well-known method of molecular biology, where analysis is performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A distinctive feature of this development is the use of more accessible and cheaper components and reagents compared to foreign analogues. In addition, the system is highly accurate due to the analysis of 25 individualizing markers of human DNA, while imported products use from 13 to 18 markers. A study using the proposed test system takes from 7 to 10 days and is based on the analysis of short tandem repeats in human DNA.
