title: Automated DNA purification and amplification from blood-stained cards using a robotic workstation.
abstract: A new method for the purification of DNA on blood-stained cards was developed. This method was implemented into a high-throughput automated system using a Biomek 1000 robotic workstation. In addition, the processes of DNA purification and amplification were coupled into a completely automated and uninterrupted prototype system, and the resultant PCR products generated by this system were subjected to automated desalting for capillary electrophoresis analysis.
