Forensic Evidence Collection Kit

Our forensic collection parts are to customize the evidence collection kits.

A forensic evidence collection kit is a professional combination of tools used by forensic experts in crime scenes, autopsies, and other work to collect and preserve evidence. It typically includes the following types of tools:

General Tools

• Various Collection Swabs: For example, oral swabs are used to collect oral mucosal cells to obtain DNA samples; nasal swabs can be used to collect nasal secretions and other possible biological evidence; wound swabs are used to collect secretions, blood, etc. at the wound site to detect the presence of infection sources or other relevant evidence; vaginal swabs and anal swabs are used in cases of sexual assault, etc., to collect potentially residual semen or other biological samples.
• Blood Collection Tools: This includes lancets, blood collection tubes, etc., which are used to collect blood samples for DNA analysis, toxicology testing, and other purposes.
• Hair Collection Tools: Tweezers are used to pick up hairs, and envelopes or plastic bags are used to properly store hair samples. Hairs can be used for DNA identification, drug testing, etc.
• Fingerprint Collection Tools: Fingerprint brushes, usually available in different materials and sizes, are used to gently reveal fingerprints; fingerprint powders, available in various colors such as black and white, are selected according to different backgrounds to enhance the visibility of fingerprints; adhesive tapes are used to lift fingerprints, transferring the fingerprints from the surface of an object to a card or other carrier for preservation and analysis; fingerprint collection cards are used to fix and preserve the fingerprints lifted by the adhesive tape.
• Measuring Tools: Measuring tapes and calipers are used to measure the size of wounds, the dimensions of objects, and the length and width of on-site traces, etc., providing accurate data for case analysis.

Tools for Special Evidence

• Bone Collection Tools: Bone saws are used to cut bones, facilitating the extraction of samples for DNA analysis or to determine the damage situation of the bones; bone chisels and hammers can be used to remove specific parts from larger bone structures, such as obtaining key parts like the skull or long bones for inspection when exhuming a body.
• Trace Evidence Collection Tools: Portable microscopes can be used to initially observe and determine the nature and characteristics of trace evidence at the scene; evidence collection bags and bottles are used to collect different types of trace evidence respectively, such as fibers, glass fragments, soil particles, etc.
• Electronic Evidence Collection Tools: Data collection devices, such as specialized mobile phone data extraction devices, computer forensics kits, etc., are used to extract data from electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers, including call records, text messages, emails, files, etc.; anti-static bags are used to store electronic devices or storage media to prevent electrostatic damage to electronic evidence.

Auxiliary Tools

• On-site Recording Tools: Cameras and video cameras are used to take pictures of the overall situation of the scene, the location and status of the evidence, etc.; drawing tools such as paper, pens, and drawing boards are used to draw on-site sketches and mark the location and interrelationships of the evidence.
• Protective Equipment: Disposable gloves, masks, protective clothing, etc., are used to prevent forensic experts’ own DNA and other substances from contaminating the evidence. At the same time, they also protect forensic experts from potentially harmful substances.
• Marking and Labeling Tools: Label papers and marking pens are used to mark each piece of collected evidence, indicating information such as the collection time, location, and type of evidence; evidence number labels are used to assign a unique number to each piece of evidence, facilitating tracking and management during subsequent investigations and analyses.

Other Tools

• Lighting Tools: Flashlights, headlamps, etc., are used to search for and observe evidence in dimly lit scenes to ensure that no important clues are overlooked.
• Portable Power Supplies: They provide power support for electronic devices such as cameras and data collection devices to ensure normal operation at the scene.
