Improving STR Profile Success Rates for Property Crime Specimens using InnoQuant® Human DNA Quantification & Degradation Assessment Kit
Abstract:Typical forensic casework DNA specimens may be degraded to varying degrees as a result of environmental insults, storage conditions, or age. These specimens may need to be excessively re-worked since their level of degradation may not be known until after amplification and typing. In this study, the InnoQuant ® Human DNA Quantification and Degradation Assessment Kit is used to provide an assessment of the level of degradation of property crime samples, demonstrating how it can be utilized to streamline a labor… Show more
