Getting More from Your Evidence: DNA Sampling Methods for Every Case

Duration: 30 Minutes

The way DNA evidence is sampled can have a significant impact on the profile that can ultimately be developed. But with so many sampling methods available, how do you know which approach is right for the evidence in front of you?

In this 30-minute webinar, Bode will explore a range of DNA sampling methods and considerations, from traditional approaches such as cuttings, swabs, scrapings, and tape lifts to more advanced techniques for challenging evidence.
Topics will include:
  • Key considerations when selecting a sampling method
  • Traditional sampling methods, including cuttings, swabs, scrapings, and high- and low-tack tape lifts
  • M-Vac sampling
  • Specialized approaches for casings, bullets, and other metal objects
  • Updates on emerging and proprietary Bode approaches for challenging evidence
Attendees will gain a better understanding of the sampling options available and how to select the right approach for different evidence types to help maximize DNA recovery and support downstream processing.
