Rapid DNA Analysis System for Human Identification | RapidHIT ID System

It's time to expedite crime-solving with rapid DNA

The Applied Biosystems RapidHIT ID System is an automated forensic DNA analysis instrument that generates STR DNA profiles in approximately 90- minutes with minimal hands-on time. It enables rapid processing and identifications of arrestees, crime scene evidence, human remains, and family references—in the lab or in the field


How does the RapidHIT ID System Work?

The RapidHIT ID system enables near-real-time, on-site DNA identification—reducing logistical burden, eliminating transport delays, and allowing non-technical operators to act confidently at the point of need. From detainee and arrestee enrollment to investigative intelligence, human remains identification, and security, the RapidHIT ID system gives agencies the ability to generate forensic-quality DNA results in hours, rather than the days or weeks, in virtually any operational environment.
