DNA evidence can be collected from virtually anywhere. DNA has helped solve many cases when imaginative investigators collected evidence from nontraditional sources see "Identifying DNA Evidence". One murder was solved when the suspect's DNA, taken from saliva in a dental impression mold, matched the DNA swabbed from a bite mark on the victim. A masked rapist was convicted of forced oral copulation when his victim's DNA matched DNA swabbed from the suspect's penis 6 hours after the offense.
Numerous cases have been solved by DNA analysis of saliva on cigarette butts, postage stamps, and the area around the mouth opening on ski masks.

With Rapid DNA, fewer individuals are handling the sample and fewer processing steps are involved, lowering risk of contamination.
Once the sample is inserted into the Rapid DNA machine, the handling process is complete. This means the DNA sample must be sourced from a known individual versus that from a crime scene — for example, only the DNA taken from an individual under arrest can be tested with Rapid DNA rather than DNA found at a convenience store robbery.
DNA samples collected from crime scenes cannot be analyzed by Rapid DNA or compared to existing profiles in CODIS because crime scenes often contain mixed profiles and would need a trained forensic scientist to interpret the results.
The validity of Rapid DNA results could still be called into question during a court case simply due to its novelty. If law enforcement personnel on scene use up the entire DNA sample during the Rapid DNA testing and do not leave enough for an accredited lab to analyze, the accuracy of the sample could be called into question.

At 23 of the 24 locations, a person has 2 numbers each one derived from either parent. This DNA test provides maximum statistical power and is superior to the DNA tests commonly used by most law enforcement labs in Kenya and the entire Africa. The PI is the likelihood ratio that indicates whether the evidence fits better with the hypothesis that the man is the father or with the hypothesis that someone else is the father.
The combined paternity index CPI is then computed by multiplying the PIs then converted to a probability of paternity value. The larger the CPI, the more strongly the hypothesis that the alleged father is the true biological father is supported by the genetic evidence. The alleged father is ruled out as the biological father if he does not share a number in common at 3 or more genetic systems.
We are also capable of providing further tests and statistical analyses in complicated cases leading to accurate and irrefutable results. The marker DNA test costs 10, Kshs.
The marker DNA test costs 17, Kshs. The DNA test determines if a man is the biological father of an individual. It is not a must to send the Mother's sample even though having it can strengthen the DNA results.
Best results are obtained if samples of the 2 grandparents of the alleged father, the child and mother are tested. The grandparent DNA test is a marker test that requires no extra family members.
