White Paper:  Evaluating the Efficiency of the Bode Buccal DNA Collector™ Compared to Whatman® FTA® for DNA Databasing proves  the elimination of a transfer step reduces cost, processing time, re-run and re-collection rates and improves the likelihood of the sample being entered into the database.

SecurSwab™ DNA Collection Products

The SecurSwab DNA Collection devices are designed to integrate the collection, labeling, protection, transportation, and processing of crime scene evidence. These collectors can be part of kits designed for various processes like property crime scene collection.
