gunshot residue area on hand
Normal area for taking samples on "subject"

A complete line of high quality GSR field sampling kits, containing certified SEM pin stubs with double coated adhesive carbon tabs in plastic tubes. The certified SEM pin stubs have very low amounts of Pb, Sb and Ba, not detectable by SEM/EDX. The caps hold the GSR sample disc for easy and secure GSR collection. The discs are ready to use and the tubes are pre-labeled for the sampling areas. The sturdy transport box is tamper evident sealed.

Each kit comes complete with:

  • Certified SEM pin mounts with adhesive carbon discs in pre-labeled tubes
  • Pair of powder-free nitrile gloves
  • Evidence label
  • Chain of custody label on box
  • A sturdy cardboard transport box (4-1/2"W x 3-3/4"D x 3"H)
  • Tamper evident seal
  • Instruction sheet

forensic field sampler

Forensic Field Sampler

A high purity certified pin stub specimen mount (see 16253, below) with and without an adhesive carbon conductive tab, mounted into the plastic cap of a glass specimen vial (25mm OD x 55mm high). The Forensic Field Sampler has been designed to collect forensic evidence with minimum interference and/or contamination coming from the sampler. Available in 3 versions: without adhesive carbon tab, with adhesive carbon tab ready to use, and covered carbon tab (plastic cover needs to be removed prior to use).

Applications for SEM or light microscopy investigation:

  • Gunshot residue (GSR)
  • Fiber collection
  • Particle sampling
  • Glass fragments
  • Paint chips
  • Powder samples

Ideally suited for SEM specimen preparation on the most commonly used SEM pin stub, facilitating easy carbon coating for SEM/EDX investigation.

The Forensic Field Sampler can be safely stored in the glass specimen vial and can be easily shipped since the cap holds the sampler stub in place. Evidence material is held by the adhesive carbon tab.

carbon conductive tabs

Carbon Conductive Tabs

PELCO Tabs™ allow you to make your own forensic sampler. Both tab sides have a thick conductive adhesive (conductive inner film is 35µm and the adhesive is 45µm on each side for a total of 125µm [5 mils]) with a liner on both sides.
The conductive adhesive is a carbon-filled acrylic glue, free of solvents. It can be removed from the specimen mount with ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol or alcohols. Temperature maximum is 60°C (140°F). Small impurities of Si, Sb, S and very small impurities of Fe, Mg and Na can be found.

PELCO® Image Tabs™, 260µm (10mil) Carbon Conductive Tabs, Double Coated

Though not as conductive or sticky as the current 4mil PELCO® Tabs. The Image Tab's surface is less prone to bubbling and cracking when coated under vacuum and thus better than the 125µm (5mil) PELCO® Tab as a photographic background for small particles like GRS particles, pollen and insect parts.

Both sides of the 200µm thick conductive polycarbonate base have 30µm thick conductive glue. Total thickness is 260µm with a liner on both sides. Protection for handling, storage and shipping is provided on one side by the transparent liner sheet and on the other side by the white liner cover.

An inexpensive way to safeguard lab shipments, sealed documents or small containers.
Once applied these economical, peel-and-stick labels cannot be removed in one piece! Instead, they are formulated to break apart when stressed, giving clear evidence that tampering has occurred.
Transparent labels display the words “TAMPER RESISTANT” in bold red ink. Ideal for use on boxes, bottles, shipping containers, parts envelopes, even file drawers. Comes in a handy dispenser box. Size 5⁄8" x 2-1⁄2" (16 x 63.5mm).
