Small Forensic Cell Collector

Description

The Small Forensic Cell Collector is a specialized tool for collecting, enriching, and preserving trace biological samples such as shed cells at crime scenes or in forensic DNA laboratories. Its adhesive membrane allows direct capture of cells from contact surfaces without interfering with downstream DNA extraction reagents. Designed for field and lab use, it ensures reliable, sterile, and contamination-free sample collection. Each box contains 100 units and three specialized membrane tweezers for convenient handling.

Key Features:

• Efficient collection, enrichment, and preservation of trace biological samples.

• Adhesive membrane directly captures cells from contact surfaces.

• Membrane is compatible with standard DNA extraction methods and reagents.

• Durable, semi-rigid membrane with single-sided adhesive prevents clumping.

• Includes dedicated specimen labeling tags and ventilated paper box for storage and transport.

• Produced under strict sterile conditions, free of external DNA contamination.

• Two sizes available: Small 10×10 mm, Large 15×15 mm.

• Easy to use with specialized tweezers for precise membrane handling.

Scope of Use:

• Crime scene collection of shed cells.

• Forensic laboratory extraction and preservation of trace DNA.

• Enrichment of micro-samples for downstream DNA analysis.

Technical Parameters:

• Adhesive surface size: 10×10 mm (small)

• Packaging: 100 units/box + 3 membrane tweezers

• Material: semi-rigid adhesive membrane

• Sterility: free of external DNA contamination

• Storage: ventilated paper box keeps collectors suspended for safe transport

Usage Instructions:

1. Use the provided tweezers to handle the collector.

2. Press adhesive side onto contact surfaces to capture shed cells.

3. Record specimen information using the attached labels.

4. Store in the ventilated box to preserve sample integrity.

5. Extract DNA using magnetic bead or silica-based methods without interference.
