Kentucky police use new technology to nab suspects in hours as rapid DNA testing market takes off
The FBI established its Rapid DNA Program Office in 2010 to help develop the technology for fast DNA tests.
Colorado-based ANDE Rapid DNA is offering its quick DNA testing to Kentucky state police for free as part of an ongoing pilot program. Kentucky is the first state to use ANDE's technology for sexual assault cases and it's getting a lot of notice from other states. Police in Palm Bay, Florida, bought the first commercial rapid DNA testing equipment in 2012, an IntegenX RapidHIT 200 system, using it in 2014 to help solve a burglary case after more than a year of testing.That was followed with the Rapid DNA Act, which was signed into law in 2017 and authorized the FBI to write standards and procedures for its application across the U.S.
"We're not doing some kind of magical chemistry inside a magical box, we're using the same chemical approach in the labs," Selden said, adding "we've just automated it, we've made it faster, and we've made it so that humans don't have to handle it."provides similar services. Its Applied Bioystems RapidHIT ID System provides full DNA results in 90 minutes, according to the company's website.
