Wildlife research

Field-ready collection and amplification for low-template work.

Omni-Matrix concept rendition: a gloved hand lifts a latent fingerprint onto a non-toxic, gel-like biopolymer film, with DNA recovered at nearly 100% retention
Featured technology

Trace DNA collection, reimagined at the source

The Omni-Matrix™ system replaces the swab with a non-toxic, gel-like biopolymer that lifts surface-bound cells and cell-free DNA — even from a single latent fingerprint — then releases its complete captured cargo at extraction with no irreversible substrate binding and near-total DNA retention.

  • Validated on all common non-porous substrates
  • Recovers usable profiles from as few as ~40 cells
  • Compatible with Omni-Mag™, PrepFiler™ & DNA-IQ™ extraction
  • Built for forensic, biometric and healthcare profiling
