title = "Rapid DNA human identification system: Optimization of microfluidic integration",
abstract = "Within the law enforcement community, forensic lab work for genetic identification requires approximately two weeks, while the holding time for potential suspects is capped at 36 hours. There exists a dire need for the ability to process samples within this narrow window to prevent the inadvertent release of guilty parties. The lab-on-a-chip cartridge and instrumentation presented within this paper, illustrated in Figure 1, are capable of processing time sensitive samples from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) purification to detection in under 2 hours, automating every step of the process while also improving reliability and reducing reagent cost and risk of contamination.",
