The SecurSwab DUO-V also contains and 2 Integrated Desiccants – each desiccant is 1 gram in weight and are positioned to surround the swab head for quicker drying.

This unique design saves time at the crime scene by:
• Reducing labeling and documentation time
• Reducing collection time
• Eliminating sample drying time
Improves Chain of Custody Control
Unique, matching barcode labels are provided with each collector to label the SecurSwab Collector, the DNA Collection Transport Pouch, and any other documentation for effective Chain of Custody.
Minimizes Handling – Reducing Contamination Risk
The SecurSwab DUO-V is designed with a protective tube that serves as a handle during collection. The reversible cap is inverted so that the swabs are protected after collection.
This reduces handling of the swabs, in turn, reducing risk of sample contamination.
Enhances Sample Protection
The integrated desiccants eliminate the need to air dry samples. Immediately after collection, the swab can be inserted into the protective tube where the sample will dry. The sample can immediately be transported to the lab.
The protective tube reduces sample loss and protects the sample from physical and environmental damages.

Drying in Less than 6 Hours
SecurSwab DUO-V Collectors dry samples in less than 5-6 hours. 150uL of water was added the one of the swabs to simulate the saturation from a wet/dry collection. Swabs were then sealed reweighed to determine how much of the sample had dried. The data is shown below.
