Abstract
The RapidHIT⢠200 System is a fully automated sample-to-DNA profile system designed to produce high quality DNA profiles within 2 h. The use of RapidHIT⢠200 System within the United Kingdom Criminal Justice System (UKCJS) has required extensive development and validation of methods with a focus on AmpFâSTR® NGMSElect⢠Express PCR kit to comply with specific regulations for loading to the UK National DNA Database (NDNAD). These studies have been carried out using single source reference samples to simulate live reference samples taken from arrestees and victims for elimination. The studies have shown that the system is capable of generating high quality profile and has achieved the accreditations necessary to load to the NDNAD; a first for the UK.
