Abstract: ObjectiveTo explore the ability of inhibition resistibility of multiple displacement amplification (MDA)in samples with inhibitors. To explain the application and value of MDA in forensic medicine by comparing with using magnetic beads methods(MBM)to purify sample.MethodsDifferent concentra-tions of hemoglobin and humid acid(HA)mixed with DNA samples and then divided the samples into MDA group, MBM group and control group.D3S1358locus was amplified and detected by polyacry-lamide gel electrophoresis detection system and AmpF?STR? IdentifilerTM Plus Kit-capillary electrophore-sis detection system.ResultsWhen hemoglobin concentrations exceed 1 ng/μL or HA concentrations ex-ceed 0.1 ng/μL, amplification products could not be obtained by single-locus system in control group. When hemoglobin concentration exceeds 100 ng/μL or HA concentrations exceed 1 ng/μL, the samples could not be amplified by MBM. Inhibitors in different concentrations were amplified successfully in MDA group without any influence from inhibitors.ConclusionMDA has the capability to remove the inhibi-tion of hemoglobin and HA, which is better than MBM and has a certain value in forensic practices.
