Identity Sciences http://identitysciences.com/ , in Alphretta, Ga., with its strategic science partner at the Idaho National Laboratory http://www.inl.gov , in Idaho Falls, has developed a new forensic human identification test which delivers accurate, reliable results in two hours. The test, AbP ID, does not use DNA but rather reads special antibodies – Individual Specific Auto-antibodies – found in all human body tissues and fluids. Each individual, including twins, has an antibody profile that is totally unique, according to a press release.
The test can determine whether the antibody profile of the evidence found at a crime scene matches the profile of a suspect. It works on blood serum and dried blood, providing results in just two hours. Other AbP ID tests using semen, saliva and perspiration are in development and will deliver results in less than five hours.
