M-VAC
Maximize DNA yields from porous evidence
+50% Results
The M-Vac system is a powerful sterile, wet-vacuum collection tool designed to recover DNA from porous and challenging surfaces such as clothing, fabrics, carpets, and even rocks. When traditional swabbing techniques aren’t enough, the M-Vac can often collect DNA that would otherwise be lost.
One of our go-to tools in our DNA Toolbox™ for touch DNA recovery. For more than 10 years, our unrivaled expertise with the M-Vac has produced results—delivering answers when others cannot. We have successfully produced CODIS-eligible profiles in a high percentage of cases using the M-Vac. Whether your evidence is potential contact DNA or degraded material, the M-Vac can help maximize your chances of success.
- Powerful wet vacuum collection for porous or hard-to-sample surfaces like clothing.
- Proven success in recovering DNA where traditional swabs fail.
- Can provide CODIS-eligible profiles from challenging or degraded evidence.
- With over a decade of high-volume M-Vac® use, we lead the field in recoveries from challenging evidence.
