Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed are devices and methods for collection, labeling and matching biological samples containing nucleic acid in conjunction with collecting at least one ridge and valley signature such as a fingerprint or footprint of an individual. Such devices and methods are used in forensic, human identification, paternity, tissue typing, and screening technologies to rapidly process an individual's identity, determine the identity of an individual along with the genotype profile of the individual.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for matching collected biometric information comprising: providing a surface for obtaining a representation of an appendage of an individual, wherein an impression of the appendage of the individual is obtained when the individual touches the surface, wherein the appendage is a digit; providing a processor to convert the impression into an electronically readable representation of the appendage; entering a first instance of the electronically readable representation and identifying information in a database; labeling a substrate with a second instance of the electronically readable representation derived directly from the fingerprint impression; transferring a biological sample from the individual to the substrate wherein the biological sample is not transferred to the surface; transporting the labeled substrate containing the biological sample to another location; matching the second instance of the electronically readable representation on the labeled substrate to the first instance of the electronically readable representation in the database, which verifies identity of the individual providing the appendage impression and the biological sample. 2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising genotyping the biological sample. 3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising archiving the collected biometric information.
