Bode has had success in obtaining DNA results from fingerprints. These prints have been processed with Ninhydrin, DFO, Cyanoacrylate, and a variety of powders and we have found that they do not inhibit the DNA. The success rate is highly dependent on the number of cells that are associated with the fingerprints.
