The Long-Fiber Cotton Swab is designed for optimal DNA collection and extraction, particularly in forensic and medical applications. The long, tightly woven fibers ensure maximum DNA adherence, making it ideal for collecting evidence from surfaces such as skin, clothing, or crime scenes. These swabs are particularly effective at capturing DNA samples from areas with minimal or difficult-to-reach residues. The swabs are sterile, easy to use, and help preserve sample integrity during transport to the laboratory for analysis.
Key Features:
-
Maximized DNA Adherence: The long fibers enhance the ability of the swab to pick up and retain DNA samples from various surfaces.
-
Efficient DNA Extraction: Designed for effective DNA extraction, ensuring high-quality samples for analysis.
-
Sterile and Safe: Each swab is sterilized to prevent contamination, ensuring the reliability of collected DNA samples.
-
Ideal for Forensic Use: Perfect for collecting DNA from crime scenes, skin cells, or other sources where DNA evidence needs to be preserved for testing.
-
Versatile and Easy to Use: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including forensic investigations, medical testing, and research.
Operational Use:
-
Prepare the Swab: Open the sterile packaging and prepare the swab for use.
-
Collect the Sample: Gently swab the surface where DNA is suspected to be present, ensuring complete coverage of the area.
-
Place in Protective Container: Once the sample is collected, place the swab in a sterile container to avoid contamination.
-
Label and Seal: Label the container with necessary case details and seal it for secure transport.
-
Transport for Analysis: Send the sealed sample to a forensic laboratory for DNA testing and analysis.
Scope:
The Long-Fiber Cotton Swab is commonly used in forensic investigations, medical diagnostics, and research. It is particularly useful in criminal cases where DNA evidence needs to be collected from crime scenes or from living individuals, such as in paternity testing or suspect identification.
