The National Police Agency has decided to install automatic DNA analyzers at four prefectural police headquarters offices to speed up the process of identifying victims in cases of large-scale disasters, NPA officials said Sunday.
The automatic analyzers, which can examine a massive number of DNA samples, will be introduced by the local police in Hokkaido, Saitama, Osaka and Fukuoka by the end of March after work had to be done to conduct a large amount of DNA analysis in the wake of last year's disaster.
The ability of the four analyzers roughly matches that of the existing analyzer at the National Research Institute of Police Science in Kashiwa, Chiba Prefecture.
