The DNA Collection Pen is a vital tool for collecting blood stains at crime scenes, ensuring that DNA evidence is recovered accurately and without contamination. To correctly collect blood stains with this pen, begin by wearing gloves to avoid introducing any contaminants. Gently use the pen’s swab tip to collect the blood from the stained surface, ensuring that the entire sample is absorbed. It is crucial to avoid touching the swab tip directly with your hands to prevent contamination. Once the sample is collected, seal it in a sterile container, label it with all relevant information, and transport it to the lab for analysis. This method ensures high-quality DNA recovery for forensic analysis, which is crucial in criminal investigations.
