An end to traditional crime dramas? New DNA technology could reveal who committed a crime in less than an HOUR

An end to traditional crime dramas? New DNA technology could reveal who committed a crime in less than an HOUR | Mail Online: "Suspects could be identified within minutes of committing a crime thanks to new technology developed by forensics experts.

The portable, high-speed equipment uses specially developed rapid profiling techniques to identify DNA from blood or tissue samples at the scene of a crime in a matter of minutes.

Currently, DNA samples have to be carefully lifted from any crime scene and transferred to a laboratory. The National DNA Database can then take several days to match a sample with a suspect."
