Abstract: | Reliable amplification of short tandem repeat (STR) DNA markers with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is dependent on high quality PCR primers. The particular primer combinations and concentrations are especially important with multiplex amplification reactions where multiple STR loci are simultaneously copied. Commercially available kits are now widely used for STR amplification and subsequent DNA typing. We present here the use of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) methods for characterization of commercially available STR kits. |
