Reduced PCR cycling time amplification using AmpFℓSTR® Identifiler® kit.

To reduce the DNA profiling time, DNA samples were amplified using AmpFℓSTR ® Identifiler ® kit at reduced PCR cycling time amplification method without addition of any enhancement buffers or enzymes. The results showed no significant difference in the quality of the profiles produced compared to those produced in the manufacturer recommended condition. This study contributed in saving almost 25% of the time needed for PCR amplification without compromising the quality of the profiles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
