Child ID Products

According to police, the most important tool in assisting the search and rescue of a missing child is a current photograph.

If any of us were to discover our child missing, we would immediately seek help from others in the vicinity. Those who could help us need to know what our child looks like. Carried by parents and caregivers, the
Ready Photo ID Card  includes a current photo, key descriptive information, emergency contact numbers and medical information to help locate and rescue a child during the critical first minutes and hours after he or she is reported missing.

Although we hope that the Card will never be needed, we at
ReadyOrg feel it can play an important role in the quick recovery of a missing child. The card should be carried at all times by parents and select caregivers (so we recommend two per child) and updated every year. The following products contain child identification cards.

DNA Collection Kits

DNA collection is another valuable tool in confirming the identity children when they are recovered -- those who are very young and not yet communicating and long- missing children who's photos and descriptions have become outdated. The scent from a buccal cell swab and from our toothprints kit can also be used by a scent dog for tracking. Following are products that contain DNA collection tools.

NEW DNA Storage and Isolation Kit utilizes patented technology to collect, extract, and store DNA. It's a very simple process and a DNA sample can be kept in a file cabinet or drawer until needed.

Kit includes instructions, swab, dna isolation card, storage bag.

Why should I collect and store DNA?

1. The ultimate personal identification method is one's own DNA.
2. DNA can be used to positively identify an individual or link an individual to a particular place by leaving biological material containing DNA behind.
3. DNA can be used to determine relationship identity, i.e. paternity issues.
4. DNA is the ultimate method to positively trace family lineage for genealogy research.
5. Archive your family's DNA for whatever future needs may arise.
6. Your DNA is an invaluable template of personal information that you can pass down to future generations.
7. With our kits you control your DNA and Storage.
8. When the time comes you or your family member can send the sealed envelope to a DNA laboratory to be analyzed.
9. The DNA can be prepared directly from the paper and analyzed by a laboratory

How Does the Process Work?

In general, cells from the cheeks (using a swab) and gums are deposited onto the sample paper with a simple back and forth motion. (full, detailed instructions included in kit) Nontoxic chemicals embedded in the paper break open the cellular contents exposing the DNA. DNA is then extracted onto the paper.

Special chemicals help to protect the DNA in addition to deactivating most harmful bacteria and viruses. The paper card has a flap that further protects the DNA sample from being touched. When sealed in the provided storage sleeve, the DNA is protected from light, air, and the physical environment.

The sample can be directly analyzed. Once sent to a lab, a small 1.2- 2mm circular punch is taken from the specially coated paper and placed into a micro-centrifuge tube (a very small plastic test tube). Buffer, enzymes, and DNA building blocks are added to the sample. The small amount of sample DNA is then increase by a process called Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Specific gene regions of interest are duplicated until enough DNA is available to be directly analyzed by various laboratory methods.
