Rapid-Dry Flocked Swab for Forensic DNA Collection

Posted on by

The Rapid-Dry Flocked Swab is a high-performance tool designed for the quick and efficient collection of forensic DNA samples. Its advanced flocked design ensures optimal DNA recovery, while the rapid-drying feature prevents contamination and degradation, making it ideal for forensic investigations, crime scene evidence collection, and medical diagnostics.

Key Features:

  1. Flocked Fiber Technology: The swab features a specialized flocked tip that maximizes DNA collection by using short, densely packed fibers to trap and retain samples more effectively than traditional swabs.

  2. Rapid-Drying Design: The swab’s material dries quickly after sample collection, preventing moisture-related contamination and preserving sample integrity for accurate analysis.

  3. Optimal for Forensic Use: Specifically designed for forensic DNA collection, the swab provides a clean, efficient method for gathering biological evidence such as saliva, blood, and other bodily fluids.

  4. Non-Contaminating and Sterile: Each swab is individually packaged to maintain sterility and prevent contamination, ensuring reliable and uncontaminated sample collection.

  5. Durable and Flexible: The swab features a flexible, break-resistant handle for easy manipulation and handling during sample collection, ensuring safe and efficient use in field and lab settings.

Operational Use:

  1. Collect the Sample: Use the flocked swab to gather DNA from surfaces or biological evidence, ensuring that the tip fully contacts the sample area.

  2. Allow to Dry: After collecting the sample, allow the swab to dry quickly to maintain the integrity of the sample and avoid contamination.

  3. Package and Label: Once dry, place the swab in a secure, labeled container for transport and analysis, keeping track of sample details and chain of custody.

  4. Transport for Analysis: Transport the swab to a forensic lab for DNA analysis, ensuring it remains protected from contamination during transit.

Scope:
The Rapid-Dry Flocked Swab is ideal for use in forensic investigations, crime scene collection, medical diagnostics, and any field where quick, reliable DNA collection is required.
