Fig. 1 DNA yield from single-sided tape samples, which showed bead clumping, is reduced as compared to double-sided tape samples, which did not show bead clumping, and to tape-free samples. Left: Quantification Data, Right: numbers of peaks seen in SGM plus profiles.

Fig. 2 DNA yield from swabs contaminated with Hemastix reagents. Yield is greater from samples that have not come into direct contact with Hemastix Reagent Strips than with samples that have. Left: strong samples (1 in 2 dilution), Right: weak samples (1 in 40 dilution).
