These combined results show that this assay can be used in a laboratory performing paternity and forensic routines. It is important to remember that this assay uses only five dyes and it is not necessary to modify the platform usually used for the most common commercial kits. This kit and its earlier versions have been regularly employed in the successive proficiency exercises organized by Spanish and Portuguese-Speaking Working Group of ISFG. Current continuing work involves doing concordance studies with other commercially available STR multiplex kits, and amplifying the loci in the presence of gDNA from domestic animals and from selected primates
