IntegenX Release: RapidHIT DNA Profile Uploaded To UK National DNA Database Identifies Dangerous Sex Offender While Suspect In Custody

PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The revolutionary RapidHIT® System from IntegenX delivered a stunning arrest in the UK last week. A suspect was arrested for a minor crime and swabbed for a DNA reference sample while in custody. His DNA profile was generated in less than two hours using the RapidHIT System at UK forensic laboratory, Key Forensic Services. Upon upload to the UK’s National DNA Database® (NDNAD), the suspect’s profile immediately matched with a DNA profile recovered from a serious sexual assault case. The suspect, while still in custody, was charged with the previously unsolved sexual assault case. Facing this compelling forensic evidence, the suspect pleaded guilty to serious sexual assault. As a result of the Rapid DNA service supported by the RapidHIT System, the offender was prevented from being released on bail, to possibly reoffend.
