Article Synopsis
- High sensitivity forensic STR PCR typing revealed low levels of DNA contamination in supposedly sterile plasticware and water, undetectable by standard methods.
- UV irradiation was optimized to treat contaminated materials, showing decreased DNA concentrations with prolonged exposure; however, some residual DNA remained detectable even after 45 minutes of treatment.
- Using aluminum foil around the samples improved UV effectiveness and reduced irradiation time needed to eliminate DNA, while ensuring no negative impact on PCR sensitivity and extending the lifespan of UV lamps.
