Frequently Asked Questions

What is AbP•ID?

AbP•ID is a new human identification technology based on an historically proven science called Antibody Profiling (AbP). IDS and the INL developed this proprietary test which reveals each individual’s unique, one-of-a-kind antibody profile.

Which biological fluids work with AbP•ID?

AbP•ID works on blood serum and dried blood, delivering results in just two hours. Other AbP•ID tests using saliva,  semen and perspiration are in development.

How long does it take the test to provide accurate, reliable results?

With blood, whether serum, whole or stains, AbP•ID tests take up to two hours for results. Semen, saliva and perspiration tests, now in development, will take less than five hours.

How large an evidence sample is required to run an AbP•ID test?

Only ten micro-liters of evidence is required for each test.

How does AbP•ID work as a presumptive test for DNA?

AbP•ID tests can be performed to determine which suspects and evidence warrant DNA testing.

By running AbP•ID tests on all suspicious blood evidence as soon as it is collected, it can be determined what evidence warrants DNA testing, saving invaluable investigative time and effort.

How does AbP•IMAGE make AbP•ID more useful?

AbP•IMAGE is a proprietary software program of Identity Sciences, LLC. It is an imaging program that digitally analyzes, archives and references AbP•ID profiles.
