Did You Know?
New laws are being passed in some states that require the submission of rape kits to labs within a specified number of days. The result is a growing backlog that may delay justice by months or longer. STACS-CW Enterprise was designed to tackle just such a challenge.
We can show you how your lab can reduce or even eliminate backlogs without hiring, without replacing your LIMS, and without a hit to your budget.
What's New?

Rapid DNA analysis is used to generate DNA profiles in less than two hours, for use in local and regional law enforcement to potentially fight violent crime with speedy results.
Attorney General Mike DeWine's office says officials have received more than 9,000 previously untested rape kits from 147 law enforcement agencies. The testing has led to more than 2,000 DNA matches in a criminal database.
Maryland's highest court has ruled that criminal defendants can't present evidence of DNA matches to other suspects at trial unless additional testing has confirmed the results.
Judges and court officials are making administrative changes to the way some cases are handled on the bet that cumulatively they will help speed up test results.
The state Department of Justice has hired nearly twenty more workers and begun a pricey renovation of its Madison crime lab so that it will be able to handle tens of thousands of additional DNA samples when new collection requirements take effect next year.
Kirk Bloodsworth became an advocate for DNA testing and abolishing the death penalty after he spent more than eight years in jail for a crime he didn't commit.
The concept of lab automation sounds almost magical, as if a sophisticated machine here or there makes a lab run by itself. Indeed, automation can improve the efficiency of a lab and more, but figuring out the best "here" or "there" creates the challenge.
