Information About This Webinar
Rapid DNA is quickly becoming the new buzzword in DNA testing for forensics and law enforcement. But, as often happens, important new technologies can be difficult to acquire and deploy due to budget limitations. Building a new technology into the operating budget can easily take many months — or even longer.
This webinar explores ways to obtain funding for special projects — like RapidHIT™ System deployment — that can fall outside the normal operations budgeting process.
