DNA from Rootless Hairs
Until recently, rootless hairs have not been amenable for traditional DNA analysis. However, Bode Technology’s recent advances in proprietary DNA X-traction™ technology enables rootless hairs to successfully generate DNA profiles suitable for CODIS upload, supporting criminal casework with better results.
Detect Nuclear DNA from a Single Rootless Hair
As the number of cold cases continues to rise, rootless hairs are sometimes the only evidence left behind. They can provide valuable DNA, but only when sensitive and reliable analysis tools are applied. Bode X-traction™ generates clean, single-source DNA profiles and has been validated for use under the FBI QAS 2020 Standards and SWGDAM Guidelines. When your cases go to trial, you’ll have confidence in the results.
