  • Conference paper
Acta Medicinæ Legalis Vol. XLIV 1994

Abstract

DNA extraction from fresh tissues is a straightforward process that can be accomplished by a wide variety of procedures. Such techniques are usually employed efficiently in DNA typing laboratories. However, in forensic DNA analysis the extraction protocol is the limiting factor that determines the success of a molecular investigation. In this field, blood and semen stains and vaginal and oral swabs required the development of suitable and highly efficient protocols.
