DNA from Shell Casings
With gun crimes on the rise, reliable and sensitive methods are needed to recover fragmented and degraded DNA from evidentiary items. Bode X-traction™, a state-of-the-art and proprietary DNA extraction technology, can yield ~10x more usable DNA which enables the possibility of more CODIS-eligible DNA profiles – even from the most challenging samples like spent shell casings.
Trace Evidence, Superior Results with Bode X-traction™
Bode Technology’s X-traction generates more useable DNA profiles from challenging cases where samples may be fragmented or severely degraded. This newly developed DNA technology supports on-going and cold case investigations. Bode X-traction is 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.
