More sensitive testing to analyze more cases
Possible contact DNA, previously referred to as “touch DNA” and now “trace DNA”, is collected from small skin cell deposits left behind on everyday surfaces like steering wheels, clothing, tools, or packaging. While commonly encountered in property crimes and other high-volume offenses, touch DNA can be challenging to analyze due to the low quantity and quality of material present, as well as the sheer number of samples to analyze.
DNA Labs International utilizes technologies from our DNA Toolbox™, such as the M-Vac and highly sensitive NGS analysis, to generate profiles from even the smallest samples. Our lab excels at interpreting complex DNA mixtures, leveraging our decades of experience and advanced analysis tools like STRmix to provide consistent and informative results from low level DNA evidence. We are equipped for high-throughput processing, helping law enforcement agencies tackle large volumes of evidence quickly and efficiently.
Whether your case involves burglary, theft, or assault, our trace DNA testing services deliver results that support strong investigations.
