To help local authorities in their identification efforts, GSS traveled to the area to train them on processing samples and on considerations for kinship analysis. They installed an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/us\/en\/home\/industrial\/forensics\/human-identification\/forensic-dna-analysis\/dna-analysis\/rapidhit-id-system-human-identification.html?icid=BID_Div_LITLblog_ScienceServingAll_20200325_rapidhit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Applied Biosystems\u2122 RapidHIT\u2122 ID System<\/a>, a platform that produces DNA profiles within 90 minutes. This unique system was enlisted to help with rapid identification of victims and to provide critical information for labs, law enforcement, and public safety officials.<\/p>\n<p>After setup, the new users of the RapidHIT system encountered a connectivity and software challenge that would\u2019ve normally been addressed by in-person help from a field service engineer. However, the need to identify victims was pressing. Instead of making them wait for an engineer to arrive on-site, GSS used the augmented reality\u2013enabled Thermo Fisher Scientific Smart Remote Support tool to resolve the issue remotely, without delay. This tool helped bring affected families the answers they were desperately waiting for.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a service and support organization, we understand that instrument uptime is crucial for our customers to accomplish their missions. We are actively developing and deploying innovative tools to help expand access and minimize barriers to science,\u201d explains Jeff Journey, senior director of strategy, innovation, marketing, and sales for GSS. \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to see our digital service tools having a real impact on our customers and their local communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/us\/en\/home\/products-and-services\/services\/services-support-life-sciences-instruments\/digital-service-innovations.html?icid=BID_Div_LITLblog_ScienceServingAll_20200325_digitalservice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn more about this and other service and support tools &gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/us\/en\/home\/industrial\/forensics\/human-identification\/forensic-dna-analysis\/dna-analysis\/rapidhit-id-system-human-identification.html?icid=BID_Div_LITLblog_ScienceServingAll_20200325_rapidhit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Get more information about the RapidHIT ID System &gt;\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The above article was originally published in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/us\/en\/home\/new-ideas\/life-in-the-lab\/january-2020-science-serving-all.html?icid=BID_Div_LITLblog_ScienceServingAll_20200325_litl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Life in the Lab magazine issue &#8220;Science Serving All.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\"><em>For Research Use Only.\u00a0\u00a0Not for use in diagnostic procedures.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New service and support tool helps to overcome geographical limitations: Barriers to science can come down to something as simple as geography.
