Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBIO) today announced that scientists from the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth, Texas reported notable improvements in the yields of DNA from challenging forensic samples -- such as human hair and bone samples -- when the Company's pressure cycling technology was added to the DNA extraction workflow, as compared to the workflow without PCT.
Dr. Suzanne Gonzalez, co-principal investigator of the two studies, commented: "Our results indicate that PCT extraction followed by DNA purification offers an excellent enhancement to conventional extraction procedures. Potential benefits include increased DNA yield, reduced processing time, cost reduction, and the elimination of hazardous organic reagents used in most common extraction techniques for challenged forensic samples."
