DNA Collection and Preservation for Crime Scene Investigation and Human Identification
4N6FLOQSwabs® Crime Scene guarantee that even minute amounts of DNA are collected and remain available for testing. Their nylon fibers special coating allows nucleic acid preservation without any drying activity, while their antimicrobial treatment minimizes environmental contamination (not for use on living humans).
4N6FLOQSwabs® Crime Scene are suitable for all traces:
- Sweat
- Semen
- Blood stains
- Skin
- Any environmental traces found at a crime scene.
*Due to the antimicrobial coating used in their manufacturing, 4N6FLOQSwabs® Crime Scene devices should not to be used for sample collection from living humans. 4N6FLOQSwabs® Crime Scene are not intended for diagnostic use.
Features
Antimicrobial Protection for Pristine DNA
4N6FLOQSwabs™ Crime Scene feature an antimicrobial coating that preserves DNA integrity while neutralizing environmental microbes. This allows clean collection/transfer without drying agents that risk contamination. By guarding against degradation, antimicrobial action produces purer samples and more reliable identifications.
Optimal Recovery from Limited Sources
With superior sample release, 4N6FLOQSwabs® outperform traditional swabs for gathering scarce or challenging specimens. Anatomical nylon tips access tight spaces to collect low DNA count samples from sublingual surfaces, bottles and other difficult sources.
Superior DNA Collection
COPAN’s innovative 4N6FLOQSwabs® represent the future of crime scene DNA gathering. Unlike traditional swabs, the solid core and outer Nylon® flocking eliminate sample entrapment while enabling rapid, complete uptake and elution of specimens for markedly improved assay sensitivity.
Verified Nuclease-Free and Human DNA-Free
To ensure utmost accuracy, 4N6FLOQSwabs® undergo rigorous certification testing and manufacturing precautions to verify the products are free from detectable DNase, RNase and human DNA contamination. COPAN maintains an anonymous database of all production staff and tests raw materials and finished products for human DNA. Restricted forensic production areas and EO sterilization further safeguard purity. With inhibitory-free materials and stringent ISO 18385:2016 compliance, 4N6FLOQSwabs® deliver PCR-ready performance.
