Maximize DNA results from any smooth surface
Fired cartridge casings are notoriously difficult to test for DNA. Traditional collection methods often fail to produce usable profiles due to the smooth, metallic surface and heat exposure. Since 2016, DNA Labs International has led the field with our SPENTSHELL®.
Over 75% Results
SPENTSHELL® combines a proprietary buffer solution and optimized swabbing technique to collect DNA from shell casings, tools, and other non-porous items. This collection and screening approach, combined with the other cutting-edge tools in our DNA Toolbox™, such as next generation sequencing and STRmix, has resulted in CODIS-uploadable profiles far outperforming standard methods.
Developed from over ten different studies, DNA Labs International is the exclusive provider of SPENTSHELL®, making us a trusted partner for law enforcement agencies seeking reliable DNA results from ballistic evidence.
