eDNA creates a new kind of evidence changing the dynamics for police and prosecution
Microdentify is leading the field and provide expert witness in court
Unique eDNA microbiome are everywhere, the DNA of everything

What can that eDNA forensics tell?
Who has been in a room
Who touched the gun
Where have an object been before
How did the criminal travel to the crime scene
eDNA provides many benefits
When there is no DNA at a crime scene, the investigator still get a profile of the criminal and much more information
When there are too many fingerprints on a gun, eDNA might tell information about the most likely perpetrator
When the criminal wore gloves or used a condome, eDNA still provides information connecting the criminal to the crime scene
Much more... Let´s not tell the criminals just yet!

New DNA tech can help the police
The idea is that the method should be usable in a wide range of crimes — from solving sexual offences to determining where a bomb was manufactured, or finding out where a firearm has been stored, or more easily establishing who has handled it.

New research can trace the weapon – without fingerprints or human DNA
Where a bomb was manufactured, where drugs have been stored, or where a person has been located can be crucial questions for the police.
Researchers at Lund University are developing a method that could make this possible – using environmental DNA

A new technique based on environmental DNA can reveal where criminal suspects have been and where, for example, explosives or narcotics have been produced.
The tool, developed at Lund University, uses AI to link genetic traces to geographical locations and could become a new asset in forensic investigations

It is one thing that a person has been at a certain place.
It is an entirely different thing to be able to say: ‘You were there on Thursday at eleven o’clock.’
That is our greatest need

Sci-fi becomes real forensic science
The newly founded company Microdentify in Lund has developed new technology intended to help the police solve more crimes by taking biological fingerprints from geographical locations. The human body simply cannot lie about where it has been.
What was previously exaggeration or pure fiction in police series – with advanced lab technology that quickly links the murderer to the crime scene using microscopic particles – may become reality with the forensic company Microdentify
