Abstract

We have implemented and validated automated methods for DNA extraction and PCR setup developed for a Tecan Freedom EVO« liquid handler mounted with a Te-MagS(TM) magnetic separation device. The DNA was extracted using the Qiagen MagAttract« DNA Mini M48 kit. The DNA was amplified using AmpFlSTR« Identifiler«, Y-filer« (Applied Biosystems), GenePrint« FFFL and PowerPlex« Y (Promega). The methods were validated for fresh whole blood and blood from deceased according to EN/ISO 17025
