Fast PCR amplification using AmpFlSTR Identifiler: Second report

Abstract

At ISFG2007, an earlier conference, we presented reports on two fast PCR cycling methods using AmpFlSTR Identifiler. In our current study, which involved PCR amplification using AmpliTaq Gold Fast PCR Master Mix, UP, and a standard PCR thermal cycler rather than the Fast PCR thermal cycler, we succeeded in allele typing while reducing PCR running times by half (to approximately 90 min).
