Micro Forensic Collector: For On-Site Use

Posted on by

The Small Forensic Cell Collector is a compact, highly effective tool designed for the collection of micro-samples in forensic investigations. It allows for precise sampling of cells from surfaces, ideal for on-site evidence collection. This collector is particularly useful in crime scene investigations, where DNA traces may be present on various surfaces. Its small size and high accuracy ensure that minimal disruption occurs while extracting valuable biological evidence. Designed for ease of use in both field and laboratory settings, it ensures that forensic samples remain uncontaminated and suitable for reliable DNA analysis.

Key Features:

  1. Compact and Portable: Small size makes it perfect for field use, easy to carry and operate on-site.

  2. High-Precision Sampling: Capable of collecting minute samples of cells from various surfaces without cross-contamination.

  3. Ideal for Forensic Use: Specifically designed for forensic and crime scene investigations, capturing trace biological evidence.

  4. User-Friendly: Simple design with easy-to-operate mechanisms, allowing quick collection with minimal training.

  5. Secure Evidence Handling: The collected samples can be stored in secure, contamination-free environments to maintain DNA integrity.

Operational Use:

  1. Prepare the Collector: Unseal the small forensic cell collector from its packaging.

  2. Sample Collection: Gently swipe or press the collector against the surface of interest to gather cellular evidence (blood, sweat, skin cells, etc.).

  3. Store Samples: Immediately transfer the collected sample to a designated container for safe transport and analysis.

  4. Transport to Lab: Send the securely sealed samples to the forensic laboratory for DNA extraction and analysis.

  5. Analysis: The collected micro-samples are ready for PCR and other forensic DNA analysis techniques.

Scope:
The Small Forensic Cell Collector is suitable for use by law enforcement agencies, forensic scientists, private investigators, and researchers. It is essential in field operations, especially in cases requiring the collection of small, hard-to-reach samples, including at crime scenes, accident sites, and disaster areas.
