An Ottawa company that provides specimen tracking software for some of the largest DNA labs in North America has landed its first international customer, Algeria’s national police force.
The likes of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation use STACS DNA’s software to track medical samples such as sexual assault kits throughout the screening process. The Ottawa-based firm announced last week that Algeria’s Direction générale de la sûreté nationale (DGSN) has implemented its solution to centralize DNA data at the force’s head lab in Algiers.
In a release, the company says its tech cuts down on time and errors involved in sample tracking and processing.
