A forensic databasing tool built by analysts and trusted by labs
Helix DATABASE™ is a secure, cloud-based solution for managing local forensic DNA databases securely and responsibly. Built by forensic experts, it gives labs full control over their DNA database while maintaining strict access, encryption, and audit standards.
For communities and agencies handling sensitive genetic information, such as Indigenous peoples or regionally governed databases, Helix DATABASE™ ensures privacy, compliance, and trust by keeping all data under the lab’s control. The system automates profile imports, searches, and reporting within a secure, accredited framework hosted in Microsoft Azure Government or AWS GovCloud. Every search and record is logged, supporting both operational transparency and ethical stewardship of genetic data.
- Built for forensic scientists: created by practicing forensic scientists with input from accredited labs and optimized for databasing workflows, searches, and evidence management according to ISO 17025 requirements.
- Simple & compatible: works with your existing tools with a user-friendly interface. Native support for STRmix, MiSeq FGx, NovaSeq, Fusion 6C, SNP, and custom kits.
- Private & secure: hosted in Microsoft Azure Government or AWS GovCloud with data encryption at rest and in transit. Role-based access controls managed by your lab for traceable and ethical handling of sensitive profiles.
