Abstract
The use of Qiagen QIAamp and QIAshredder for extracting DNA from envelope f laps and stamps is reported. The stamps or flaps can be added directly to e xtraction solutions and the DNA is bound to a spin column containing a sili con membrane for washing prior to elution. DNA extracted from four stamps a nd four envelope flaps was amplified and analyzed using a multiplex PCR sys tem. Complete DNA profiles were obtained from five samples.
