Abstract: DNA fingerprinting and profiling are emerging as important and authentic tools for criminal investigations. The “Touch DNA†or “Trace DNA†is the manifestation of this at the miniature level. In burglary-related crimes, multiple tools have been used; therefore, profiling and exact matching with the accused have become problematic. In addition, the surface of the tool is a deciding factor for DNA accumulation. . In this article, we used three pairs of gloves made up of different materials (latex and denim cloths). The amount of DNA obtained from gloves A and B (latex) were 1.877 ng/µl and 0.91 ng/µl, respectively. However, in the case of glove C, we demonstrated that the extraction of DNA from the denim cloth was difficult; therefore, we chose a single fiber thread for this purpose. For a single thread, the quantity obtained was 0.06 ng/µl even after 520 days of incidence.
