These innovations aim to directly contribute to public trust in our legal system and the safety of our society. One of the innovations involves rapid tests to determine whether sufficient DNA material is present in a trace, ensuring that no samples are sent to forensic labs that yield “no result” due to insufficient DNA material. The other innovation focuses on rapid tests that can extract information from human biological traces, such as determining whether the trace belongs to a male or female, helping to guide on-site investigations more quickly and effectively.

This project is financially supported by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) through the Research along Routes by Consortia program under the National Science Agenda (NWA-ORC).
