Abstract
NaCl and 70% ethanol preserved muscle samples (fresh and decomposed) up to 65â¯Â°C, as well as 70% ethanol and 20% DMSO for fresh bone samples. These results were comparable with refrigeration and therefore, these preservatives could be used in rapid response operations by the military and for disaster victim identification. Conversely, under the conditions of this study, 20% DMSO and 70% ethanol failed to consistently produce full DNA profiles from decomposed bone, and NaCl performed poorly at preserving DNA from fresh and decomposed bone samples.
