Unveiling the unseen with SAFE-DNA
SAFE-DNA, or Surface Analysis Forensic Examination utilizes genomic material or DNA as an effective tool to provide comprehensive surface analysis when combined with traditional techniques. This enhances transparency and security regarding potential contamination.
Our method is suitable for assessing cleaning protocols, conducting genomic sweeps, or gathering data for biological surveys. Many pathogens or microbes are difficult to detect; Ward-Helix Biologics combines available methods with the latest technology for reliable high definition forensic examinations.
Your results are presented as data but also include plain language discussion, detailed media files, and a comprehensive threat assessment with suggested actions.
Complete surface coverage
SAFE-DNA allows for a comprehensive or near 100% coverage of existing potential contamination of any sampled surface.
Combining traditional methods with highly accurate genomic methods creates high confidence and transparency. Know for sure and get a sense of security, or reliable actionable results when confidence matters.
Designed for peace of mind
This new gene enhanced tool can be used to assess a variety of critical or needed objectives including: cleaning protocols and procedures, as a forensic sweep of a given surface, to build data for a biological survey, or to determine trace custody or origin.
Many pathogens or microbes are not easy to detect with tools developed prior to genomic technology. Most will not develop into culture within a lab environment despite best efforts. Additional chemical testing adds a forensic tool by identifying organic compounds, but only DNA or RNA can determine specific species and report even at truly low levels of presence.
SAFE-DNA can also provide specific sweeps. If you are only searching for a specific type, or a specific pathogen/source of organic contamination; then your tests can be tailored to meet that need at no extra cost.
Comprehensive & reliable information and action protocols when required.
We report your results using a straightforward analyses based on your needs and requirements. The information is clear and provided in a pragmatic conversational, statistical, and graphical manner where appropriate. We are confident this approach maximizes uptime and while mitigating downtime, liabilities, and concerns.
SAFE-DNA is currently available as a small scale kit suitable for testing two small areas or the same small area twice (i.e. for a pretest and post-test). Custom or larger orders are available upon request.
