FLOURESCENCE IMAGING TOOLS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FORENSICS Sandia National Laboratories (Albuquerque, NM) seeks a partner to participate in developing and commercializing new fluorescence imaging tools for law enforcement and forensics. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is providing funding and guidance in this project. The project goal is to commercialize cost effective, fieldable instrumentation for detecting fluorescent evidence at crime scenes. New detection schemes and enhanced performance of existing forensic light sources will be combined with the goal of detecting fluorescent material in ambient light (i.e. room light and possibly daylight). Sandia and NIJ want to work closely with an industrial partner during device development so that this technology can be quickly and widely distributed. The partner must be experienced with fluorescence techniques currently used in law enforcement and possess manufacturing capabilities. Benefits to the selected industrial partner include: insight into the needs of NIJ and the larger security market overall. Law enforcement technologies are a growing market area, already making up $8 billion worth of products and services in the US. If the project goals are met, the private-sector partner will also have a new product ready for commercialization. Sandia is looking for partners to commercialize this technology, particularly small businesses, applications developers (end-users), and manufacturers. Partnership agreements include commercial licenses and Cooperative Research & Development Agreements (CRADAs).
