Workers in forensics need to be protected from particular contaminants and biohazards

Workers in the forensics industry need to be protected from particular contaminants, such as crime scene evidence, biohazards, fumes and particulates generated during fingerprinting operations. They also need to protect items that are collected as evidence prior to DNA processing.

To meet this need, Labconco in the US is designing a series of Forensic Enclosures to protect the user.

Protector Evidence Drying Cabinets - the first items to be introduced in the company’s Forensic Enclosures line - provide a secure ventilated area to dry evidence such as clothing, bedding and marijuana. The cabinets HEPA and carbon filtered exhaust protects personnel from exposure to biohazards while eliminating odours.

The key-activated ultraviolet light provides secondary disinfection of the interior between cases to prevent cross contamination, ensuring integrity of samples for DNA testing. The lockable cabinet maintains the chain of custody.

More products are to be added to Labconco’s Forensic Enclosures line in the future.
