Forensics

We are excited to introduce to you the M-Vac sampling method.  This technology is being used in forensic cases where traditional methods failed to collect sufficient DNA for a viable profile.  The M-Vac has successfully collected enough DNA to generate enough loci to move the cases forward.

The M-Vac utilizes wet vacuum principles to release and capture cells.  Nuclease and DNA free buffer is sprayed directly onto the surface while, simultaneously, a vacuum is applied around the spray pattern to collect the buffer and suspended particles in a collection bottle.

The M-Vac provides better DNA extraction due to a much higher rate of recovery than other methods (i.e. swabs). It is also more efficient than cutting.

Forensics Benefits

  • Superior extraction from many substrates
  • The M-Vac has enabled forensic scientists to build partial and full profiles when traditional methods have failed
  • Large surface area per sample capability
