Successful STR amplification of post-blast IED samples by fluorescent visualisation and direct PCR.

Abstract excerpt

Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) present a number of challenges in terms of the generation of forensically relevant information. Inhibition to PCR from sub-optimal sample types as well as from specific substrates has historically meant that extraction prior to PCR has been required. Improvements to STR kit buffers lead to the successful introduction of direct PCR to the analysis of IED-relevant samples,...
