Rapid, Scalable Forensic Evidence Analysis

Rapid Forensic Cell Typing’s (RFCT) mission is to revolutionize criminal investigations with a SaaS platform that enables rapid identification and prioritization of forensic evidence. RFCT addresses the critical issue of backlogged evidence and delayed investigations by delivering results in minutes, not days, leading to faster case resolution, cost savings for labs, and quicker justice for victims. RFCT’s innovative technology includes the ability to estimate the age of the sample or time since deposition, significantly accelerating case timelines, reducing backlogs, and improving judicial outcomes.

What We’re Looking For

RFCT is seeking connections to forensic labs for testing and validation, engagement with forensic professionals for feedback, and experts in flow cytometry, DNA testing, and software development to optimize their technology.
