Developmental validation of the Quantifiler(®) HP and Trio Kits for human DNA quantification in forensic samples.

•The Quantifiler® HP and Quantifiler® Trio DNA Quantification Kits were designed to quantify human genomic DNA in forensic casework samples.•The kits are primarily intended as a preliminary screening and quantification step to performing analyses such as STR (short tandem repeat) genotyping.•The kits were designed to improve upon the sensitivity, robustness and time-to-result of earlier-generation DNA quantification kits, to be more aligned with current-generation STR kits.•This paper presents the results of developmental validation studies of the Quantifiler HP and Quantifiler Trio Kits.
