ESDA® - Lite collection of DNA from latent fingerprints on documents

Highlights • Non-destructive DNA collection with the ESDA was compared to dry swabbing and substrate cutting. • DNA was collected from latent fingerprints on six different varieties of paper. • The dry swabbing technique yielded the highest percentage of full and high partial STR profiles. • ESDA co...

More Information
Summary:Highlights • Non-destructive DNA collection with the ESDA was compared to dry swabbing and substrate cutting. • DNA was collected from latent fingerprints on six different varieties of paper. • The dry swabbing technique yielded the highest percentage of full and high partial STR profiles. • ESDA collection generated a higher percentage of useable STR profiles than substrate cutting. • Full STR profiles can be obtained from a document without compromising its structural integrity.
