Abstract

A sample stacking capillary electrophoretic (CE) microdevice was developed to enhance the detection sensitivity of mini Y STR genotyping. The mini Y STR includes redesigned primer sequences to generate smaller-sized PCR ampli-cons to improve the PCR efficiency and the success rate for a low copy number and degraded DNA sample. We design an elongated double-T shaped CE microchannel, and the mini Y STR amplicons are filled in a 10 mm-long stacking channel and preconcentrated in a defined narrow region through an optimized sample stacking CE scheme. The peak intensities of the mini Y amplicons in the electropherogram reveal more than 10-fold higher fluorescence intensities compared with that of a conventional cross-injection CE. Such signal enhancement allows us to successfully analyze the Y STR typing with only 25 pg of male genomic DNA, with high background of female genomic DNA, and with highly degraded male genomic DNA.
