Pressure Cycling Technology (PCT) Reduces Effects of Inhibitors of the PCR

Pressure Cycling Technology (PCT) Reduces Effects of Inhibitors of the PCR

  • Results demonstrate enhanced PCR efficiency for inhibited samples following PCT compared with those samples not exposed to pressure technology.
  • These results indicate as a proof of concept that PCT is a viable method to overcome the inhibitory effects of hematin and HA on the PCR.
  • These results indicate as a proof of concept that PCT is a viable method to overcome the inhibitory effects of hematin and HA on the PCR.
    This research study demonstrates the capabilities and potential of PCT applications for forensic DNA analysis of biological evidentiary samples.
