Abstract:
1. A system for collection of a biological sample comprising a nucleic acid sample and at least one ridge and valley signature of an individual comprising: a. at least a first imaging component comprising a scanning surface configured to permit an energy way to penetrate the scanning surface, wherein the energy wave is configured to image the at least one ridge and valley signature of an appendage of the individual; b. a substrate positioned upon the scanning surface, wherein the substrate is configured to permit the collection of the at least one ridge and valley signature of the appendage through the substrate and to permit collection of the biological sample as the appendage is withdrawn from the substrate and wherein the substrate is chemically modified with a chemical functional group selected from the group consisting of an amino group, a chloromethyl group, a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group and a quaternary amino group.
