DNA Lab Funding for SAK Tracking
Applications Due: March 2, 2017
The National Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI), administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), provides funding through a competitive grant program to support multidisciplinary community response teams engaged in the comprehensive reform of jurisdictions' approaches to sexual assault cases resulting from evidence found in previously unsubmitted sexual assault kits (SAKs). The focus of this solicitation is on those "unsubmitted kits" which are defined as SAKs that have not been submitted to a forensic laboratory for testing with CODIS -eligible DNA methodologies.
STACS DNA has solutions to help you meet all the requirements specified in this SAKI grant today. And we can help you meet the application deadline! Contact us

STACS-DB
allows you to assign an Instrument Model of 'Any' in your scenarios. This means that you can either restrict the scenario to a specific instrument model or simply link it to an instrument type.
Tell me more!
Assigning an Instrument Model of 'Any' allows your analysts to use any model of that instrument type. For example, if the scenario calls for an Instrument Type of 'Pipetter', then the analyst can use any model of pipetter. If you would like a specific model of pipetter to be used, then you will configure the scenario to require that specific model.
For more information about this or other STACS-DB capabilities contact us here.
