[DNA contamination by examination instruments].
Using DNA-analysis systems in forensic examination, conditions without any (iatrogenic) contamination are necessary for analysis of evidence. Failing these conditions a contamination is possible and interpretation of the results may be difficult. Our experiments demonstrated a relevant transfer of DNA-material if contaminated instruments were used.
