How Can the UV-Box Prevent Erroneous Outcomes in Forensic Evidence Processing?

Minimal contamination of DNA sources can quickly alter the outcome of forensic science results, especially in criminal cases. One of the most common causes of contamination is improperly sanitized field instruments used for evidence collection and crime scene processing.

 

The Air Science UV-Box was designed to safely destroy latent DNA with the use of high intensity UV lamps that are strategically placed within the chamber. The short-wave ultraviolet light at 254 nm destroys exposed surface DNA and bacteria which assures that evidence is free of contamination prior to the next forensic procedure.
