The Potential of Rapid DNA Technology

Rapid DNA technology is transforming law enforcement and forensics with its speed and versatility. Processing DNA samples in less than two hours, it enables immediate suspect identification, database comparisons, streamlined booking, and rapid victim identification, accelerating justice and enhancing public safety.

Go Rapid Dna Direct Comparison

Direct Comparison

This application does not require a DNA database. Law enforcement can collect a sample from a suspect and a sample from a crime scene and process both samples on the Rapid DNA device. In just a few hours the police officer will know if the crime scene DNA and the DNA from the suspect matches or exonerates.

Comparison to State Independent Database

Rapid DNA enables crime scene sample comparison with state criminal offender DNA held in a separate state database, as FBI rules currently prevent Rapid DNA crime scene uploads to CODIS. Despite this, at least three states, including Connecticut and Arizona, are seeing significant success with this approach.

Comparison to Local Database

Local DNA databases, populated with crime scene samples and consenting individuals/suspects' DNA, enable Rapid DNA matches. This approach has proven highly effective in solving and reducing crime, as demonstrated by the Bensalem, Pennsylvania Police Department's program.

Booking Station

With a state law permitting DNA collection upon arrest, Rapid DNA at booking stations allows immediate comparison to the FBI's CODIS database of unsolved crime scene DNA. This primarily aims to identify arrestees wanted for serious crimes before release. Louisiana was the first state to implement this in August 2022.

Victim Identification

Rapid DNA enables quick identification of remains from fires, accidents, or disasters by comparing them to family reference samples, providing answers to families within hours. This rapid processing is prompting many local governments to adopt Rapid DNA for emergency preparedness.
