Some pretty major news from M-Vac.. facebook.com m-vac.com The Forensic Science Graduate group at UC-Davis has been conducting research on the capabilities of the M-Vac DNA evidence sampling system.. Part of this research involved replicating the conditions of a rape victim who has showered after the sexual assault (and instinctive response to such an attack is to try and get clean).. What they discovered is pretty dang impressive!! Finally, we determined if the M-Vac was capable of collecting male saliva from a female's skin after'showering. The M-Vac can collect salivary DNA present after showering, while the swabbing method is much more limited. The M-Vac makes the collection of biological evidence from skin and fabric plausible without being hindered by surface area limitations.'' m-vac.com They were able to obtain DNA from a post-shower subject/victim's skin from the perpetrator's saliva "deposit". This can only assume that Semen would also be just as recoverable as DNA from saliva in a post-shower scenario. Summation: For the first time, Forensic Nurses and other CSI Lab specialists are able to have a technology that provides them extensive sampling capability that provides a greater possibility of obtaining a viable DNA sample. And considering that there are huge backlogs in un-analyzed Rape Kits, it would seem logical that when making the initial sample, the Technician would want the best technology in order to assure more timely test analysis. businessinsider.com Hawk
