INVESTIGATING THE IDENTITY OF DISPUTED BLOOD SAMPLES USING DNA FINGERPRINTING

ABKLARUNG STRITTIGER IDENTITAT VON BLUTALKOHOLPROBEN MIT DNA-FINGERPRINTING

DNA fingerprinting is a perfect tool for investigating the identity of disputed blood by alcohol samples extracted. However, blood samples stored at an ambient temperature for longer periods can show considerable degradation of high-molecular DNA, diminishing the value of fingerprint investigation because of loss of the less frequent bands formed by the longer DNA fragments. Addition of the complexing agent EDTA can retard this degradation. Determination of the sex with DNA probes in the blood alcohol sample increases confidence in the investigation.
