Description

Background: It is essential to recover as much DNA as possible from evidence samples to ensure optimal DNA analysis in forensic casework. However, both DNA collection and purification procedures cause a substantial loss of genetic material. Thus, a large loss of DNA through the pre-PCR procedures, including swabbing and extraction, may significantly affect downstream analysis results.
