Rapid DNA Systems

Rapid DNA systems deliver automated STR DNA profiling within 60 to 90 minutes from raw biological samples. They operate at forward positions without laboratory infrastructure or trained scientists on site. Border crossings, military checkpoints, disaster victim identification sites, and law enforcement field positions across Pakistan use these systems for immediate identity confirmation.

The system combines a benchtop instrument with single-use disposable cartridges. Each cartridge contains all reagents and microfluidic components for a complete analysis run. Sample loading takes under 2 minutes. The instrument then completes cell lysis, magnetic bead DNA extraction, PCR amplification, capillary electrophoresis, and fluorescent detection automatically. No manual pipetting or reagent handling occurs between steps. Additionally, closed cartridge architecture prevents cross-contamination between consecutive sample runs. This matters at high-throughput screening positions processing multiple samples across a single operational shift.

Profile output covers 20 CODIS core autosomal STR loci plus Amelogenin sex determination. This meets FBI quality assurance standards for database submission and court-admissible evidence use. Match probability against an unrelated individual falls below 1 in 10 quadrillion on full profiles. Furthermore, profile data transfers automatically through encrypted network connection to central CODIS databases. Search results return within minutes of profile upload, supporting real-time identity decisions at the collection point.

System options include laboratory benchtop units and ruggedized field variants for vehicle deployment. Throughput runs between 4 and 8 samples per instrument per hour on back-to-back cartridge loading. Moreover, power supply accepts 220V AC mains or vehicle inverter input. Operating temperature range covers 15°C to 35°C, suiting both air-conditioned vehicles and field command post environments.

Tactical Supply Pakistan supplies Rapid DNA systems to border management agencies, law enforcement forensic units, military identification formations, and disaster victim identification teams requiring automated point-of-collection DNA profiling capability throughout Pakistan.
