简介:目的研究DNAIQ磁珠法结合MaxwellTM16自动仪对接触DNA提取的应用价值。方法151份案件接触DNA检材95℃裂解后,采用DNAIQ磁珠法结合MaxwellTM16自动仪提取DNA,然后进行DNA定量和STR分型检测,统计各种类型的接触DNA含量I、PCCT值和STR分型成功率。结果151份案件接触DNA检材中,除果核平均DNA获得量为9.51ng以外,其它接触检材的平均DNA获得量均大于10ng,烟蒂检验成功率最高为93%,果核检验成功率较低,为60%。所有DNA样品的IPCCT值均在27左右,纯度高。结论大部分接触DNA检材采用DNAIQ磁珠法结合MaxwellTM16自动仪可提取到足以进行STR分型的DNA。
