Figure 1

Sensitivity of the quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction assay within the low template DNA range. A buccal swab previously measured in triplicate 3 times was diluted from 1000 pg/µL to 0.12 pg/µL, as indicated. Results are depicted for samples diluted from 31.25 pg/µL to 0.98 pg/µL. Data for 1000 pg/µL to 62.5 pg/µL and 0.49 pg/µL to 0.12 pg/µL are not shown. Results are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation, where n = 3. The average value for each measured amount of DNA is labeled.
