Every Sexual Assault situation is different and various scenarios will determine the type of evidence that can be collected from a patient in search of the perpetrator’s DNA.
The D3 Kit deals with collection of hair samples (pubic and scalp hair) from the sexual assault patient. The purpose of taking hair samples, is that the comparison of microscopic characteristics of questioned hairs to know hair samples assists in determining whether a transfer my have occurred.
This D3 Kit contains everything required for collecting the pulled hairs. It also contains the necessary “Chain-of-Custody” tracking information as well as “Tamper Seals” and Packaging for delivery to the SAPS Forensic Lab.
As this kit only focuses on the collection of hair samples from your patient, evidence found on clothing or the genital area should be collected with other Evidence Collection Kits used for Sexual Assaults.
