- No additional costs due to contaminated swabs - all parts are DNA free
- Less unnecessary testing because of invalid/negative PCR results due to better sample quality
- Lower transportation costs as no refrigeration or rapid transport required
- Easy to use - sample is taken and swab sealed in the tube; no folding of a cardboard container required
- No re-training of personnel is required across the extensive forensiX product range due to the commonality in tube design
- Fewer operator errors due to colour coding
- No degredation of DNA after long term storage
- No mixing of swab and tube - both the swab cap and the tube have the same ID number to ensure correct pairing
- Can be used in automated and non-automated labs - 2D-barcode and ID-number provided on the tamper proof label
- Easy processing of the swab in the lab - breaking point to break off the head
- Better release of the DNA from the swab because of the nylon flocked head

The self drying evidence collection tubes with the nylon flocked swab offer some additional benefits. The breaking point of the swab allows easy handling in the lab and the better DNA release further improves the DNA recovery.
Evidence Coll. Tube Nylon 100mm Nylon Flocked Swab
Art. No.: 9022006 (e)
The evidence collection tubes contain a desiccant that ensures complete and rapid drying of the swab after collecting samples. Pre drying or freezing is not needed.
All elements of the tube (except desiccant) are EO treated and guaranteed DNA free*.
*DNA-free means: Any DNA, that might contaminate the swab or tube during the manufacturing process, is degraded to such small fragments that no human profile can be generated with PCR amplification methods.
