Abstract
In this article, we report on the validation studies performed during development of the Maxwell® FSC Instrument with the Maxwell® FSC DNA IQ™ Casework Kit for genomic DNA extraction from forensically relevant biological samples. These studies are based on requirements listed in the FBI Quality Assurance Standards for Forensic DNA Testing Laboratories and guidelines outlined by the Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods.
