June 2018, the ANDE Rapid DNA™ Identification System has received National DNA Index System (NDIS) approval from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The ANDE system performs Rapid DNA Identification—the fully-automated generation and interpretation of DNA IDs—in less than two hours, outside the lab, by non-technical users. The system consists of a ruggedized instrument, an expert system that performs data interpretation, and a single-use, all-in-one consumable chip that accepts an oral swab or forensic sample.
