Techniques for DNA Analysis

In conclusion, the data described demonstrate the reproducible quality of DNA samples extracted by using a heat-induced retrieval protocol from FFPE tissue sections, based on careful comparison of a-CGH analysis data. This simple and effective DNA extraction protocol may provide an alternative technique for DNA analysis for CGH as well as for other methods of DNA... 

Figure 6 is a schematic representation of a DNA histogram. The ability of the flow cytometer to rapidly count several thousand nuclei contributes to the sensitivity of this technique for DNA analysis. However, problems due to sample quality, staining, and instrumental artifacts should be recognized and minimized to insure accurate interpretation of data (B2).

The broad spectrum of analytical techniques available today is covered in this handbook. It starts with general articles on purpose and procedures of analytical chemistry, quality assurance, chemometrics, sampling and sample preparation followed by articles on individual techniques, including not only chromatographic and spectrometric techniques but also e. g. immunoassays, activation analysis, chemical and biochemical sensors, and techniques for DNA-analysis.
