Survey of Crime Laboratories on the Subject of Differential Extraction Methods Employed to Obtain Identifiable DNA from Sexual Assault Kits (SAK)
Levitas, Inc. (www.levitasbio.com) is developing an instrument, reagents, consumables, and a processing protocol that has the potential to significantly reduce the complexity and difficulty of differential extraction (DE) as presently employed at forensic laboratories while enhancing reproducibility and sensitivity. To optimize the utility of the instrument, perfect the protocol and obtain required verification for crime lab use, researchers from Levitas, Inc. are soliciting comments from crime lab scientists and other specialists in forensic DNA identification. The Survey below lists key concerns regarding DE that we welcome your views on. The Survey responses will be analyzed in a Summary Report which will be publicly available on our website. No individual respondent identifying information will be disclosed in any compilation or analysis of the results.
