DNA Typing of Treated Bloodstains

BLUESTAR® does not interfere with DNA profiling. Samples treated with BLUESTAR® were successfully processed by forensic laboratories.

The IRCGN study showed that DNA profiles obtained from blood treated with BLUESTAR® (at dilutions from 1:2 to 1:1,000) were identical to those from untreated samples.

The UFEG-CHU Nantes study confirmed successful DNA typing even at 1:100 dilutions and on bleached stains. ABO blood typing is also possible after using BLUESTAR®.
