Furthermore, backlogs ultimately lead to increased financial burden on taxpayers caused by the response, investigation, prosecution, and adjudication of crimes committed by repeat offenders (4, 5). These backlogs can slow criminal investigations and delay the identification of suspects.
In addition to the increased logistical burden on the crime labs, the expansion of the offender and database laws have compounded backlogs (3). As convicted offender and all-arrestee laws continue to expand worldwide, forensic laboratories are experiencing increased logistical burdens for implementing the laws, including training of collection personnel, processing increased numbers of samples, and ensuring that the collection agencies submit the materials correctly (2). Dramatically reduces DNA analysis time DNA analysis has become the gold standard in forensic science, aiding law enforcement in solving crimes, convicting criminals, and excluding the innocent (1). DNAscan Rapid DNA Analysis System processes five DNA samples simultaneously in less than 85 min. Data Security and Privacy: On-board security supports the need to maintain data privacy and tracks chain of custody.Contamination control: The DNA swab seals and locks into the DNAscan BioChipSet Cassette to minimize the potential for cross-contamination and sample mix-up.Closed system: All aspects of sample processing, including waste containment, are performed on the single-use DNAscan BioChipSet Cassette no direct contact between the instrument and the sample and reagents means no flushing or cleaning of instrument lines.The system’s small footprint can be installed on a benchtop-no pre- and post-PCR laboratory is needed. The cassettes can be stored at room temperature for up to six months (at 20☌ to 30☌), eliminating the need for freezers and refrigerators.
