Rapid Forensic Cell Typing, Inc

Rapid Forensic Cell Typing technology is a new scientific method to identify the biological contents of forensic samples. This technology can accelerate evidence processing by indicating which samples will yield the best DNA profiling results, allowing crime labs to analyze more samples within budget. Our high throughput and non-destructive process captures data on individual cells in evidence samples using imaging flow cytometry that can be seamlessly integrated into the typical forensic lab’s workflow. RFCT’s process can identify the types of cells in a sample and their quantities, where the cells originated from on the human body, and the time elapsed between sample deposition and sample collection, adding crucial context to DNA evidence. By focusing on the most promising samples, we eliminate human judgment and biases when gathering and processing evidence, creating a more equitable criminal justice system and empowering law enforcement, military, and intelligence communities to make actionable decisions.
