Significant milestone for legal tech company marking two decades of innovation and growth

Propylon Turns 20

Our connection to our clients drives what we do at Propylon; it gives the work we do, and the innovative software solutions we provide, real value and meaning. Our focus over the last 20 years has evolved alongside the needs of our clients.


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Propylon® today announced reaching an important milestone as the company celebrates 20 years of delivering innovative software solutions to the legislative, legal, and regulatory industries.

The company is celebrating 20 years connecting people with the law through technology. This is an exciting milestone for Propylon and marks a new stage in its evolution as an innovative market leader in the legal tech space.

During the last two decades, the legislative and legal tech industries have undergone significant change and addressed considerable challenges. Technology has enabled the landscape to evolve dramatically. Since its inception in 1999, Propylon has been at the forefront of innovation and progress in the sector, driving advancement through technology.

It is Propylon’s longstanding experience in the legislative and legal tech domain that has given birth to a unique blend of innovation. Where there are gaps in the market and a lack of offerings to meet the needs of their clients, Propylon creates them. Its vision in 1999 was that XML and Python would change the tech world. “Propylon was one of the first commercial companies in the world that built its technology stack on Python,” said Propylon founder and Chairman, Paul McKeon. “As a company, we’ve enjoyed remarkable growth thanks to that vision. We always prided ourselves on hiring the best technical talent available. We have developed an agile, talented and confident team of people. Our people have always been our biggest asset.”

The company’s name, Propylon, is from the Greek word meaning ‘gateway’ or ‘entrance,’ which represents the meeting point where technology enables the company to connect with its clients, connect the past with the future, and cross over the gateway beyond limitations to provide better solutions that meet the needs of its clients. Its logo, the infinity symbol, represents the infinite ways the organization strives to create a better world by providing innovative solutions that help make complex legal material easy and accessible to everyone.

Propylon’s 20 year anniversary branding reflects both the evolution of the company as well as its vision for the future. Its anniversary logo and strapline: ‘20 years connecting people with the law through technology’ captures the essence of who and what the company is by honoring the past, celebrating the present, and embracing the future. Reflecting on the company’s two decades as a market leader in the legal tech space, Propylon CEO John Harrington said: “Our connection to our clients drives what we do at Propylon; it gives the work we do, and the innovative software solutions we provide, real value and meaning. Our focus over the last 20 years has evolved alongside the needs of our clients. We are committed to meeting their needs today and into the future. We continue to make significant investments in our software solutions, expanding both the company and its product offerings.”    

Though many things have changed over the last 20 years, one thing that remains constant is the company’s vision of continuously striving to offer its clients better solutions to uphold the law and help create a better world.

Many agencies still continuously rely on these radios to perform, which is why we decided to make significant investments in improving our accessory line for these legacy Harris Ma/Com portables, including the P7100, P7200, and P5100, P5200.”

Below is a summary of these improvements at a product level.

Rhythmic Technologies Deploys Delta Risk’s ActiveEye Managed Security Platform for Clients Using AWS

Leave a comment


News Image

“Rhythmic’s clients are building and running critical applications in the cloud. By partnering with Delta Risk, we can help them better protect those applications with strong monitoring and response capabilities.”


DULLES, Va. (PRWEB)

Today, Rhythmic Technologies, a DevOps infrastructure management company, announced that it has partnered with Delta Risk, a leading provider of SOC-as-a-Service and security services, to offer advanced AWS managing and monitoring features. By incorporating Delta Risk’s cloud-native Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR) platform known as ActiveEye in its offering, clients can now avoid data breaches caused by AWS (Amazon Web Services) misconfigurations and external attacks.

“Rhythmic’s clients are building and running critical applications in the cloud,” said Cristopher Daniluk, founder and chief executive officer, Rhythmic Technologies. “By partnering with Delta Risk, we can help them better protect those applications with strong monitoring and response capabilities.”

This new offering is for Rhythmic clients using real-time monitoring and response for AWS GuardDuty, AWS Config, AWS CloudTrail, OS security/audit event logs, and application hooks. The responsibility for configuring platforms like AWS to identify atypical behavior is left to the users, who sometimes struggle to set up the platform to effectively protect them against breaches that can expose sensitive data.

“Rhythmic Technologies and Delta Risk complement each other very well, and we are excited about the positive impact this will have on Rhythmic Technologies’ clients,” said Mike Warren, vice president of Cyber Resiliency Services, Delta Risk. “The ActiveEye platform eliminates more than 95 percent of false positives from thousands of daily security alerts generated by AWS and other cloud providers. Rhythmic Technologies will now be able to offer enhanced managed security services for mission-critical cloud infrastructure.”

Next-generation endpoint detection and response solutions, network security information and event management (SIEM), cloud applications, and cloud infrastructure generate thousands of alerts daily. With ActiveEye 2.0, customers can view and manage them all or have Delta Risk SOC analysts manage them. Advanced security automation processes the majority of alerts, so Delta Risk SOC analysts can focus on the most complex and critical alerts, taking that load off of in-house teams.

About Delta Risk

Delta Risk is breaking the mold for managed security, delivering Security Operations Center (SOC)-as-a-Service and security services that bridge the gap to a modern security approach. We enable any size organization to leverage our expert security operations team and respond to endpoint, network, and cloud security threats 24×7. ActiveEye, our proprietary platform, uses Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR) to cut through the noise and address the most critical threats faster. The ActiveEye Portal is the cornerstone of our customer-centric approach, providing clients a transparent view into SOC activities and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that demonstrate the value of our co-managed security approach.

About Rhythmic Technologies

Rhythmic is the only company built specifically to support engineering teams building apps in AWS. We have been designing, implementing and operating infrastructure for custom applications for over 20 years, allowing us to combine the experience that comes from spending a long time in the trenches with the modern thinking that comes from building cloud-based infrastructure and being part of DevOps teams.

NucleusHealth™ Revolutionizing Medical Image Management with Showcase of Pure Cloud Based PACS at RSNA

Leave a comment


News Image


SAN DIEGO (PRWEB)

NucleusHealth, the medical image management and teleradiology services provider, today announced that its cloud-based platform Nucleus.io has debuted major feature sets that allow the system to readily demonstrate cloud PACS functionality on a wider scale. This release will be shared with the public for the first time at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL.

NucleusHealth has harnessed its clinical expertise as the largest pure teleradiology provider in the U.S. to build an innovative cloud-based picture archiving communications system (PACS). The Nucleus.io PACS will not only sustain and grow the company’s own practice but will allow organizations around the world to scale for the future. For over twenty years, the company forged its way ahead by moving medical imaging to the internet and eventually to the cloud with an image management solution that was launched seven years ago. Today, NucleusHealth has over 7,000 facilities using its technology for medical image management and interpretation.

Looking to the future of medical imaging, the company is debuting the first high-performance, pure browser based PACS. Nucleus.io leverages Microsoft Azure to deliver medical images to the entire ecosystem through the cloud at the speeds of on-premise systems. This feat is achieved by combining client-side rendering and proprietary streaming technologies, solving the latency challenges associated with viewing large medical images industry-wide. Nucleus.io premiered with image exchange and cloud archiving at the forefront but has produced a comprehensive system with a high-speed diagnostic viewer that features a web-based radiology worklist, AI integration, voice recognition and reporting, and system integration capabilities.

“NucleusHealth is excited to have reached this pinnacle with the Nucleus.io medical image management platform. The purely cloud-based system was built with the intent to enhance the foundation in which medical images were managed by utilizing modern web techniques and applying them in a way that improves clinical workflows, and ultimately patient care. The end goal has always been more than providing an image exchange solution, but to bring a full-scale cloud PACS to the market and we’re seeing that come to fruition,” said Dr. Vishal Verma, NucleusHealth Chief Executive Officer.

Nucleus.io allows business leaders to now reap the financial benefits of moving large data assets to the cloud for archiving and to ease the challenges of integrating newly acquired hospitals while scaling for growth. Organizations can also alleviate radiologist burnout with the remote reading capabilities of Nucleus.io. This system offers radiologists and clinicians the performance they demand and the flexibility to access medical images securely, from anywhere, with nothing more than a web browser.

Nucleus.io will be featuring an enhanced diagnostic web-viewer that previews the support of three-dimensional image manipulation and mammography that is transmitted without the lag experienced with other viewers. NucleusHealth will also be demonstrating how it cooperates in the market through usage of standards to integrate with various machine learning platforms. Demonstrations of the Nucleus.io platform and its ability to leverage modern-day technologies to empower clinicians for the enhanced care of patients will be given in the NucleusHealth booth and the Microsoft booth, No. 10745. More information will available throughout RSNA 2019 in Chicago at the NucleusHealth exhibit, booth No. 7159.

About NucleusHealth

NucleusHealth is advancing patient care through innovation in cloud-based medical image management, facilitating a global image exchange accessible by patients, physicians and healthcare networks. NucleusHealth licenses its Nucleus.io software as a service (SaaS) and web-scale platform as a service (PaaS) technologies to healthcare organizations and companies across the globe. The company’s StatRad teleradiology service was founded in 1996, by radiologists for radiologists, and develops and implements forward-thinking solutions for radiology groups.

In Wake of New Romaine Lettuce Recall, FoodLogiQ Calls Supply Chain Management and Food Traceability “More Important Than Ever”

Leave a comment


“Foodborne illness is unacceptable, because this is a preventable issue.” – Sean O’Leary, FoodLogiQ CEO


DURHAM, N.C. (PRWEB)

FoodLogiQ, the leading SaaS provider of food safety compliance, traceability, and supply chain transparency software solutions, shared thoughts from corporate leadership today in the wake of the ongoing E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce. The affected produce has sickened 67 people in 19 states, with 39 people being hospitalized and six experiencing kidney failure, according to a November 26, 2019 update from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As of today, no deaths have been attributed to the E. coli outbreak.

Currently, the CDC still has not identified the contamination source or where all of the suspect lettuce was grown, although Salinas, California, is believed to be a potential source site. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also stated it is not certain where in the supply chain the contamination occurred, as no common grower, supplier, distributor or brand of romaine lettuce has been identified. The organization has deployed investigators to the farms in question to try to determine the source and the extent of the contamination.

In the meantime, consumers were advised this week to beware of purchasing or eating romaine lettuce harvested from the Salinas, California growing region. This includes whole heads and hearts of romaine, chopped romaine, organic romaine, or salads and salad mixes containing romaine. If consumers do not know where the lettuce was grown, they should throw it away or return it to the place of purchase. Also, if romaine lettuce does not have information about the harvest region or does not indicate that it has been grown indoors (i.e., hydroponically- and greenhouse-grown), consumers should throw it away or return it to the place of purchase. Consumers ordering salad containing romaine at a restaurant or at a salad bar should ask the staff whether the romaine came from Salinas. If it did, or they do not know, they should not eat it.

While anyone can develop E. coli infection from exposure to the pathogen, there are certain population demographics – pregnant women, people with weakened immune systems, young children and elderly adults – who are most susceptible to developing severe complications, such as kidney failure and even death, if they become ill.

FoodLogiQ Insight

Unfortunately, recalls and withdrawals are a fact of life in the food industry, and they can happen for a variety of reasons. Whether it’s a quality or packaging problem, or a food-safety issue, if you’re a part of the food supply chain, it’s not a matter of if your company will be affected by a recall; it’s simply a matter of when.

CDC statistics tell us that approximately 48 million people get sick every year from foodborne illnesses—and that’s just in the United States; 128,000 of them end up in the hospital. When you consider that 3,000 people die every year from foodborne illness—that’s one 9/11 every year. According to FoodLogiQ CEO Sean O’Leary, that’s unacceptable, because this is a preventable issue, and unfortunately, these illnesses are an underreported public health problem.

“My challenge to the food industry is simple,” says O’Leary. “What if we made just a 1% improvement in the number of cases of foodborne illness? That seems like such a small percentage, but when you do that math, that’s 480,000 people who don’t get sick this year; 1,280 people who aren’t admitted to the hospital; and 30 people who don’t die. Those are significant numbers.”

FoodLogiQ’s Solution: The Connect Platform

By having a robust end-to-end traceability program and technology that provides real-time data and visibility, companies facing a recall can isolate and surgically withdraw the tainted product out of the supply chain without recalling more items than necessary. First and foremost, that process protects consumers; it also limits the disruption and the waste of good food, which saves the company money.

To address these and other food safety issues, FoodLogiQ created a software solution that allows food companies to efficiently manage their suppliers, capture all the data needed for a transparent and FSMA-compliant supply chain, and stitch together critical tracking events to achieve real farm-to-fork traceability to quickly identify and address food safety issues.

According to Lucelena Angarita, Director of Supply Chain Traceability for Independent Purchasing Cooperative, Inc., the purchasing cooperative for Subway® franchisees, FoodLogiQ’s Connect platform provides IPC with useful shipment information that, in the event of a quality issue, provides the data to make real-time business decisions that protect the consumer and the Subway® brand. This is only possible if all supply chain partners collaborate to report their critical tracking events in their traceability system.

“We know that being proactive and prepared can make all the difference in successfully managing a quality incident,” says Angarita. “That’s why we partnered with FoodLogiQ in 2015, launching the Subway®-IPC/FoodLogiQ Traceability Program. Using FoodLogiQ Connect’s Track + Trace together with GS1 US Foodservice Standards, our supply chain partners can manage and track their shipments from the manufacturing plants all the way to the restaurant. That supply chain visibility mitigates risk, which is extremely valuable when consumer safety is at stake.”

“Currently, 99% of the produce sold by volume to Subway® has a GS1-128 barcode, which is the industry-recognized standard for traceability by product and location and the foundation of FoodLogiQ’s platform. Now our distributor partners are starting to scan the barcodes as they deliver each case to our restaurants, helping us reach our full supply chain traceability goals,” says Angarita.

“We’re proud to work with organizations like IPC/Subway® who are committed to consumer transparency and want to provide their customers with safe, high-quality food,” says O’Leary. “In this complex global supply chain, that’s what they demand and deserve.”

About FoodLogiQ

FoodLogiQ® LLC is the leading SaaS provider of traceability, food safety and supply chain transparency solutions. FoodLogiQ Connect is the most comprehensive, data-driven software solution that enables supplier management, food safety compliance, quality incident management, recall management and whole chain traceability – all on a single platform built exclusively for the food industry. To meet mounting regulatory requirements and consumer demands for transparency, food companies are leveraging FoodLogiQ Connect to validate supplier compliance with food safety and act with confidence in the event of a food safety or quality issue.

USPS Operation Santa making needy kids’ sad letters to Santa available online for first time, but not enough letters are coming in

Leave a comment


Christmas volunteers sent gifts to this little girl through the USPS Operation Santa program.

This little girl wrote to Santa, and her gifts were delivered directly to her.

Some Operation Santa volunteers feel alone and sad over the holidays, and find comfort and inspiration volunteering for this program. By adopting a letter, they catch the true spirit of the holidays and know they’ll put a smile on the face of a needy child on Christmas morning.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

The U.S. Postal Service has just launched a new website putting letters to Santa from needy kids online and making them available to the public to adopt.

But not enough letters from low income families are coming in this year.

“The letters asking Santa for a warm coat, new shoes, and a favorite toy can be read online this year, and volunteers have been quickly snapping them up. Demand is huge, and more letters from low-income families need to be mailed to Santa’s new address ASAP,” says Patrick Reynolds, who runs http://www.BeAnElf.org, a nonprofit that supports the USPS program. Kids and families may write to Santa at 123 Elf Road, North Pole 88888, and should mail their letters by December 14th.

Reynolds says, “We think it’s okay for children to know there are volunteers out there who want to help Santa by sending a few extra gifts to kids whose parents don’t have much. Of course, after scanning and posting children’s letters on the USPS website, postal staff always send every letter on to Santa so kids will get his gifts, too.”

Be An Elf is a tax-exempt charity which supports USPS Operation Santa® by annually recruiting hundreds of new volunteers; by encouraging media to cover the story; and by providing those seeking assistance with tips for effective letter writing. Be An Elf is not affiliated with the USPS®, but offers an excellent guide to volunteers and to those seeking assistance. The tax-exempt non-profit charity gets a major in-kind grant from Google for free advertising, which they use to promote the USPS program.

Parents who are worried there won’t be enough gifts for their children this year will find great tips at BeAnElf.org/writing-to-Santa. Volunteers who want to learn more should start with the home page at BeAnElf.org and learn How to be an Elf.

In recent years the traditional walk-in program has been available in less than two dozen cities, but this year the letters may be adopted online from anywhere, and gifts can be mailed from 19,000 postal branches, thanks to a new USPS website, USPSoperationsanta.com.

To protect children’s privacy, USPS ® staff redact last names and addresses from their letters. A coded address label is printed out with each letter. Gifts must be mailed by December 20th, in time for delivery by Christmas.

“Some Operation Santa volunteers feel alone and sad over the holidays, and find comfort and inspiration volunteering for this program,” says BeAnElf.org’s Patrick Reynolds. “By adopting a letter, they catch the true spirit of the holidays. They know they’ll put a smile on the face of a needy child on Christmas morning.”

Reynolds is a grandson of tobacco company founder RJ Reynolds, but became a smoke-free advocate after his father, RJ Reynolds, Jr., died from smoking. Patrick received the Lifetime Achievement award in 2015 from President Obama for his work against Big Tobacco; his bio is at Tobaccofree.org/bio/.

BeAnElf.org is an invaluable resource for first-time volunteers and helps parents and kids seeking extra gifts for the holidays write effective letters to Santa.

Sample tips:


  • BeAnElf.org suggests smart gifts, like backpacks, school supplies, new (not used) clothes, books, and a small gift for the mothers, whom the site says are sometimes feeling sad over the holidays.

  • Get the word out to low income families with kids, and let them know they can write to Santa’s volunteers for extra gifts. Put up flyers to spread the word. Post them in local churches, on community bulletin boards, in markets in low-income neighborhoods, in orphanages, youth detention homes, Child Protective Services offices, a local foster care office, and even prisons. Always talk to staff first to tell them about the flyer, and ask permission to post it up. Write this at the top, so no one pulls the flyer down: Take a photo of this flyer as a reminder. Here’s how to get extra gifts for your kids from Santa’s volunteer elves!    

  • Volunteers should pay attention to the letters from families and parents of children too little to write. They often list their children’s clothing and shoe sizes, and that’s a sign they truly need help for the holidays.

  • Organize a team and share the cost and the fun. Give a holiday party at which friends, co-workers and neighbors are invited to bring gifts for kids and wrap them over Christmas cheer.

  • Be An Elf has just published a new Plan for Companies for employees who are interested in volunteering.

  • It may be possible to adopt multiple letters, and simply mail gift cards from Target or Costco, and let the Moms do the shopping for their families.

The US Postal Service ® has not missed a year since first offering the children’s letters in 1912. Learn more at BeAnElf.org. The new USPS website where the public may adopt letters online is USPSoperationSanta.com

Young Reality Star’s Cosmetic Treatments Highlight Growing Trend Among Younger Adults, says Beverly Hills Physicians

Leave a comment


Botox is increasingly being used as a preventive, as well as a solution.

The medical group explains that by preventing signs of aging through small doses of injectables, younger patients are able to keep fine lines and creases at bay.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

An October 31 article on Beauty Crew reported on “The Bachelor” contestant Elly Miles, who recently opened up about having cosmetic work done before appearing on the reality TV show. She revealed that in addition to having breast implants, she has been getting Botox injections to smooth out frown lines she’s had since she was a teenager. The reality star noted that, for years, she resisted the idea, instead trying to cover the lines with makeup. Unfortunately, Ms. Miles said, her makeup would still settle into the lines. Los Angeles-based health and beauty medical group Beverly Hills Physicians notes that noninvasive cosmetic treatments such as injectables and fillers that used to be associated with middle-aged and older patients are becoming more popular among the 20 and 30-something crowd.

Beverly Hills Physicians says that, while injectables and other cosmetic treatments tend to be seen as solutions for wrinkles that have already settled into the skin, these days millennials are using the treatments as a sort of beauty prophylactic in order to maintain their skin’s youthfulness. The medical group explains that by preventing signs of aging through small doses of injectables, younger patients are able to keep fine lines and creases at bay.

These days, beauty-conscious consumers are marketed countless serums and creams that all but promise perfectly smooth skin. Beverly Hills Physicians says that, similar to what Ms. Miles experienced, facial lines and wrinkles can still show through makeup and topical products can only do so much. The health and beauty group comments that the only way to ensure smooth looking skin is by fighting the creases from the inside. By smoothing and filling out fine lines beneath the skin through injectables like Botox, patients are left with a fresh and youthful appearance, the Southern California medical group says.

Beverly Hills Physicians adds that Botox’s popularity has soared in recent years. Due to its quick and noninvasive nature, the clinic says that enhancing one’s look has never been more accessible. At the same time, the health and beauty specialists note that injections are very powerful but temporary, which is why many patients ultimately turn to a traditional surgical facelift for a more permanent improvement. It ultimately comes down to the patient’s personal priorities, says the medical group.

Whatever type of procedures interests them, readers can learn more about Beverly Hills Physicians and their services can call (800) 670-3602 or visit the clinic’s website at https://www.beverlyhillsphysicians.com/.

“This award highlights the outstanding care offered in our centers across the state,” stated IHCA Executive Director Matthew Hartman. “It takes into consideration the procedures and practices put in place by facilities to ensure their residents are receiving quality care around the clock.”

Coulterville Rehabilitation & Health Care Center has been providing excellent service in long term care for more than 14 years. The 75-bed skilled nursing center provides various services and amenities for residents, including physical, occupational and speech therapies, advanced wound care, pain management, balance training, respite care and more.

In addition, Coulterville has received both the Bronze and Silver National Quality Awards from the American Health Care Association (AHCA) and the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL), the leading association for long term and post-acute care. The AHCA/NCAL award recognized Coulterville for its dedication and commitment to quality of care for seniors and persons with disabilities.

“The community’s repeated recognition – the IHCA award, CMS 5-star rating and AHCA/NCAL quality awards – from multiple organizations demonstrate the high level of care Coulterville Rehabilitation & Health Care Center provides to its residents and their families every day,” said Randy Bloom, Ph.D., chief operating officer of Tutera Senior Living & Health Care, which owns the Coulterville facility and is one of the nation’s premier providers of diversified, post-acute senior health care services.

Forensic Labs in Houston, Northeastern Illinois Will Use STRmix

Leave a comment



WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

The Houston Forensic Science Center (HFSC) and Northeastern Illinois Regional Crime Laboratory (NIRCL) are the latest U.S. forensic labs to announce plans to use STRmix™ to resolve DNA profiles in criminal investigations.

Developed in New Zealand and South Australia, STRmix™ is sophisticated forensic software that can be used to resolve mixed DNA profiles previously thought to be too complex to interpret.

HFSC examines and provides scientific analysis of evidence for the Houston Police Department (HPD). The Center manages HPD’s Crime Laboratory and Crime Scene Unit, as well as parts of its Identification Division.

NIRCL provides forensic services to 57 member law enforcement agencies which govern and fund its operations. NIRCL provides accurate, objective, and timely forensic services for Chicago’s suburbs and collar communities, serving an estimated population of approximately 1.6 million citizens.

With the addition of the two new forensic labs, a total of 48 U.S. labs now regularly use STRmix™. Other labs announcing plans to use STRmix™ in just the past year include the Nebraska State Patrol, the University of Nebraska Medical Center Human DNA Identification Laboratory, the Massachusetts State Police Crime Laboratory, Orange County (CA) Crime Laboratory, and Los Angeles Police Department Forensic Science Division.

Those labs join a national list of labs that includes the FBI and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). STRmix™ is also in various stages of installation, validation, and training in more than 60 other U.S. labs.

“Forensic labs are turning to STRmix™ because it has greatly improved their ability to produce usable DNA evidence in a wide range of criminal cases,” says John Buckleton DSc, FRSNZ, Forensic Scientist at the New Zealand Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR) and one of the developers of STRmix™.

According to Dr. Buckleton, agencies using STRmix™ are reporting an increase of interpretable DNA in gun cases from about 40% to more than 70%. STRmix™ is also proving to be highly effective in sexual assault cases.

“Given the considerable resources invested in both resources and staff time to clear Sexual Assault Kit backlogs, forensic labs are quickly recognizing that STRmix™ is producing a much better return on investment by delivering a significantly higher rate of interpretable results,” Dr. Buckleton explains.

Since its introduction in 2012, STRmix™ has been used to interpret DNA evidence in more than 120,000 cases around the world. It has also been used successfully in numerous U.S. court cases, including 28 successful admissibility hearings.

A new version of STRmix™, STRmix™ v2.7, was introduced in September. STRmix™ v2.7 includes several new features in direct response to recommendations for improvements made by forensic labs to better address the on-the-job needs they regularly encounter. DBLR™, an application used with STRmix™, was also introduced earlier this year. DBLR™ allows users to undertake superfast database searches, visualize the value of their DNA mixture evidence, and carry out mixture to mixture matches.

In addition, an updated STRmix™ Defense Access Policy gives defense legal teams even easier access to STRmix™ software. The updated Access Policy includes definitions of the extended items that can be provided under the policy, updated non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), and an abbreviated NDA for use in some specific circumstances.
