Over 90% Results from Guns
Gun crime is heartbreakingly widespread and profoundly devastating. Firearms used in violent crimes are among the most common evidence types that yield complex DNA mixtures. Because guns are often handled by multiple individuals, recovering comparable DNA profiles can be challenging. Traditional approaches often miss or destroy critical DNA evidence, limiting investigative leads.
At DNA Labs International, we provide a unique combination of technology, experience, and process to maximize DNA recovery from firearms, even guns found in water. Our approach combines specialized swabbing techniques developed through years of firearm casework experience.
We provide a comprehensive case review, volume-based pricing for high-throughput testing, and dedicated, expert support. Whether you are submitting a single gun or a large backlog, our gun crime solutions can help you move your investigations forward with high-quality, court-defensible results.
