Polymerase Chain Reaction Amplification of DNA from Aged Blood Stains:  Quantitative Evaluation of the “Suitability for Purpose” of Four Filter Papers as Archival Media

Abstract excerpt

In collaboration with the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology's Department of Defense DNA Registry, the National Institute of Standards and Technology recently evaluated the performance of a short tandem repeat multiplex with dried whole blood stains on four different commercially available identification card matrixes. DNA from 70 stains that had been stored for 19 months at ambient temperature was extracted or...
