Swab Drying Cabinet and Swab Rack
Whenever swabs are used for collecting
biological evidence bloodstains found at crime scenes, it is always
necessary to air-dry the swabs before packaging them to prevent
degradation of DNA from bacteria. This swab drying cabinet is designed
to greatly reduce the drying time by blowing ambient air over the swab
bulbs and, at the same time, lessening the possibility of contamination
of the collected swabs during the drying procedure.
This drying
cabinet measures 13.5" L x 8" W x 8.5" H and can be used in an
examination room when collecting specimens from body orifices of victims
of sexual assault.
These lightweight (under 5 lbs.) cabinets can be mounted on a wall if space is limited.
The
cabinet is made of a plastic material which is easily cleaned with a
10% chlorine bleach solution to prevent the possibility of
cross-contamination.
The case and rack are sold as one unit, but an additional rack is also available.
