What are forensic swabs?

Forensic swabs are used to collect evidence from crime scenes and elsewhere to assist in investigations and prosecute criminals. Swabs are used to collect evidence such as blood or other fluids, along with trace evidence that includes hair fibers, paints, soil, glass, and other trace materials.

Forensics is not limited to criminal investigations as forensic pathology, forensic nursing, and forensic engineering found in universities, laboratories, and coroner's offices. Forensic swabs can be made from cotton, flocked fibers, or foam and may contain additional transport tubes or other features such as DNA-free or DNA-controlled.

What are DNA-free forensic swabs?

Prior to the DNA revolution, most forensic swabs were sterilized and free from any living organisms such as bacteria or viruses. Because DNA contamination is not removed by irradiation, Puritan and other manufacturers now take the extra step to remove DNA from their forensic swabs. Modern technologies can detect even the smallest amounts of DNA, and because of this forensic swabs are trending towards being standardized as DNA-Free.

Ethyl oxide can successfully remove DNA from swabs and this is verified by test procedures. Ethyl oxide breaks down DNA into its component proteins which means forensic scientists cannot detect a complete DNA profile, only protein fragments. This ensures that the collection of evidence is not contaminated in the manufacturing process.
