Abstract
A system and a kit for the non-invasive collection of DNA material from the inner cheeks of a living person or corpse. Included are swabs of high modulus fibers which scrape DNA material from the inner cheeks to obtain sufficient material for future identification.
Claims
1. A method for the non-invasive collection of DNA from a living person or a corpse for storage and identification which comprises the steps of swabbing or scraping about the inner cheek of said person or corpse with at least six swabs consisting of high modulus fibers, each of said swabs scraping the inner cheek at least about ten times.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein each swab collects at least about 4500 nanograms of DNA material is collected.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein at least about 4500 nanograms of DNA are collected swabs from a corpse.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein said high modulus fibers are selected from the group consisting of polyamide, polyethylene, terephthalate, polyimide and polyester.
5. The method of claim 1 including lysing of the DNA material from the swabs and storage of the lysed material at low temperatures.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the collected DNA material contains secretory leucocyte protease inhibitor.
7. A kit for use in the non-invasive collection of DNA material from a living person or a corpse which comprises: a first envelope suitable containing a data collection sheet; a second envelope containing at least six swabs comprising high modulus fibers for collecting DNA material from inner cheeks; a mailing envelope for mailing said data sheet and swabs to a storage facility, and a container for said envelopes.
8. The kit of claim 7 wherein said envelopes are bar-coded.
