most likely attributable to a reduction in the remaining tissue to
preservative solution ratio due to the removal of 100 ml at
each time point. The results of DNA profiling over the full 52-
week sampling period do, however, suggest that multiple
samplings from a single-collected sample do not adversely
affect the outcome to an extent that DNA quantity or quality
slips below a standard required for use with current downstream
processing, and that individualisation of samples by DNA
profiling can still be achieved.
