title: [Detection of saliva traces on perpetrator masks and their attribution to a particular criminal].
abstract: Face masks are commonly used in robberies and sometimes found nearby crime scenes. Usually saliva traces can be found on such masks, which contain cellular material useful for PCR typing. The method described in this study makes it possible to localize such regions on face mask, thereby allowing a much more directed investigation of the objects to analyse. This means a simplification of the DNA extraction procedure and a minimization of loss of material during DNA isolation. The general suitability of this method is demonstrated by a casework example.
