ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the extraction of DNA from urine and urine stains and typing.Methods DNA was extracted from urine and urine stains with Chelex-100 extraction method and QIAamp Mini Kit.STR loci were typed after amplification by PCR procedures with Profiler Plus Kit.Results STR loci could be well typed in DNA extracted from the urine,which was fresh or preserved properly for less than 12 hours.Satisfactory DNA typing could be made in 50% of the urine preserved for two days.No typing results were obtained in the samples kept for seven days or much longer time,and typing was rarely available using urine stains.Conclusion DNA extracted from the fresh urine can be typed,which may be used in forensic identification.
