ANDE is the leader in Rapid DNA technology. Rapid DNA is technology that generates a DNA ID for the immediate identification of an individual in less than 2 hours. It is a fully automated (hands free) process that generates a human ID from an STR profile. The "swab in - profile out" process consists of automated extraction, amplification, separation, detection, and allele calling without human intervention. The ANDE Rapid DNA Solution was the first to receive FBI approval for use in an accredited lab and for use in booking stations.
"Because of the machine we have, the ANDE machine, normally we have to send evidence out it could take weeks or months, well the game changer is we are able to take blood from the scene and in 90 minutes, because of the technology, we can match that blood from a different location, again it all comes together, but the ANDE machine was a game-changer and now we have the evidence that we need in 90 minutes or less which is one of the major reasons we stand here today [with a solved homicide]"
