Abstract:
A real-time system for determining the geographic movements of an individual or object by sampling particulates contained thereon. The system includes particle collection, sample preparations, and sample analysis using three primary modes of detecting certain particulates. The first mode involves the imaging of pollen, spores, or other biological material which are visible through a light microscope when properly stained or prepared. The second mode involves the use of real-time polymerase chain reaction to amplify and detect target nucleic acid sequences. The third mode involves the use of X-ray diffraction to identify mineral particles. The results from any mode, or any combination of modes, are analyzed by comparison to a reference database containing geographic information and the results are compiled by a controller for visual display.

Dna-Based Method For Forensic Identification Of Controlled Substances Using Plant Dna Markers

Syracuse University - Syracuse NY
International Classification:
C12Q 1/68
Abstract:
A method for determining the presence or absence of an illicit plant-derived compound in a sample. The method includes the steps of: (i) providing a sample potentially containing an illicit plant-derived compound; (ii) extracting DNA in the illicit plant-derived compound from the identified sample; (iii) amplifying, using PCR, the target plant DNA sequence from the extracted DNA; and (iv) detecting an amplified target plant DNA sequence, where detection of the amplified target plant DNA sequence indicates the presence of the illicit plant-derived compound.
