Background & Aim:
Technological innovations enable rapid DNA analysis implementation possibilities. Concordantly, rapid DNA devices are being used in practice. However, the effects of implementing rapid DNA technologies in the crime scene investigation procedure have only been evaluated to a limited extent.
In this study, the rapid DNA procedure at the crime scene was compared with a regular DNA procedure. We investigated the DNA-results of the RapidHIT200 on blood and saliva traces secured at the crime scene, and the impact of these rapid DNA profile results on the investigative process & DNA Hits.
