Sexual Assault Kit testing
DNA evidence is an incredibly powerful law enforcement tool to identify sexual assault assailants and prevent future crimes. However, sexual assault kit backlogs continue to hinder identifications and investigations.

A sexual assault occurs on average every 68 seconds in the US. For over 25 years, Bode Technology’s unmatched DNA testing experience has helped law enforcement to clear sexual assault kit backlogs at the city-wide, county-wide, and state-wide levels. Our high-throughput capacity enables processing and reporting over 2,000 sexual assault kits each month, helping to generate new investigative leads and reduce investigative burdens of caseload management.
