Advanced Devices for Innovative Medical and Forensic Sampling and Analyzing

Over het Project

A substantial part of the samples sent in to the forensic laboratory does not contain enough DNA in order to obtain a DNA
profile.

The swabs used for sample collection on a crime scene retain a large percentage (around 50% ≥) of the captured DNA in the fibers. In this research, ceramic devices are compared to standard cotton swabs in terms of extraction and recovery efficiency.

The end goal is to make a biosensor that is able to detect the presence of human DNA in a sample.
