The
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Crime
Laboratory, the real world model for the popular CBS
television series CSI (Crime Scene Investigation), is a
state of art full service forensic laboratory meeting
the Quality Assurance Standards for Forensic DNA Testing
Laboratories and Convicted Offender DNA Databasing
Laboratories Issued by the FBI Director.
The American Society of Crime Laboratory
Directors Laboratory certification program (ASCLD/LAB)
accredits the Crime Laboratory.
LVMPD
Criminalists are proficient in the specialty area of
forensic DNA analysis, specifically in STR analysis
using DNA Detail approved Applied Biosystems Prism®
310, 3100/3100-Avant Genetic Analyzers and GeneMapper®
software. The
Criminalists render expert testimony in relation to DNA
analyses. The
LVMPD Crime lab is governed by procedures and
regulations pertaining to forensic DNA laboratories as
defined in the FBI Quality Assurance Audit for Forensic
DNA Testing Laboratories and Convicted Offender DNA
Databasing Laboratories Document.

Applied Biosystems Prism® 7000 Sequence Detection System,
DNA Detail
Franek Technologies LPS Catalog Number
FT1-F7000-SD
Instrument
Description: The ABI PRISM® 7000 Sequence
Detection System is a complete, real-time PCR
(Polymerase Chain Reaction) system that detects
and quantitates nucleic acid sequences. In
real-time PCR, cycle-by-cycle detection of
accumulated PCR product is accomplished by
combining thermal cycling, fluorescence detection,
and application-specific software in a single
instrument. Quantitative results are available
immediately after PCR without additional
purification or analysis.
Real-time, quantitative PCR applications include
gene expression and pathogen detection. Post-PCR
detection is also available for non-quantitative
assays such as allelic discrimination (SNP
detection) and plus/minus assays utilizing an
internal positive control (IPC).
Application:
Genomic and Proteomic DNA Sequencing and
Genetic Analysis
