Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, today announced that the Applied Biosystems™ RapidINTEL™ Plus Cartridge has received approval from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National DNA Index System (NDIS) for use with qualifying forensic crime scene samples. The law enforcement milestone makes Thermo Fisher's Rapid DNA workflow on the RapidHIT ID™ System the first eligible to generate DNA profiles that can be searched against the national CODIS database network when FBI requirements are met. This decision expands access to investigative DNA intelligence that can be generated in hours rather than days or weeks.
