Mini-Popule Maximizes DNA Recovery

As published in Forensic Magazine’s February/March 2008 issue, our new mini-popule (25-4660) boosts recovery of trace DNA with its foam head and 91% isopropanol solution inside its hollow shaft. And, it reduces the chance of contamination due to not having to add sterile water as well as an easily detachable head. Better yet, because it’s a one-stop sampling device it’s easy to use in the field. Plus, as Ted Silenieks of the Forensic Science South Australia Biology Lab stated, "Crime Scene Investigators are often amazed at our ability to generate DNA profiles from popule samples taken from similar items that, from their past experience, never produced DNA results using cotton swabbing methods."
