"Ten minute!"
How long does it take to run a match on DNA samples?
A bit more than 3 hours if the facility is configured ‘hot’ in push-mode; no spin-up time whatsoever for any phase / task of the process / procedure. All comparative profiles are already processed, cataloged and in the DB.
As soon as SEAL team member hands off the biological sample, and the putative DNA-lab-on-a-chip, to the forensic technician the clock’s running. If one of the tech’s knocks over a Grahm double-coiled, doubled-jacketed Davies condenser w/fractionating Co-Vigreux column with a high 5 digit price tag, there’s three or four more prepped and ready to take over in a heartbeat and a multitude of other identical profiles simultaneously in progreess. Moreover, they’re probably running multiple differential loci-profiles simultaneously.
Net result: after about 4 hours they have 1:1000000000 match probability across all measurable loci that can be tested for.
Those 4 hours would only set the taxpayer back a few $million or so (not including the $1/4 to 1/2million ea’s for all the DNA-lab-on-a-chip utilized for prelim results).
