Seratec Product Families
The Seratec range covers the primary needs of forensic biological evidence work, from identification of biological stains through to DNA sample collection and sample preservation.
RSID Series — Biological Stain Identification
The RSID (Rapid Stain Identification) series provides rapid immunochromatographic identification of biological stains encountered in forensic casework. The series covers semen, saliva, blood, menstrual blood, urine, sweat, and vaginal secretions. Each RSID test is a single-use lateral flow device designed for use directly on sample extracts prepared from evidence items.
Forensic DNA Collection
A range of DNA collection consumables including forensic-grade swabs, FTA collection cards, and packaged collection kits designed for the recovery of biological material from persons, surfaces, and evidence items. Products are manufactured to forensic quality standards with low background DNA and consistent nucleic acid recovery performance.
Sample Preservation
Drying tubes, evidence packaging, and preservation materials formulated for the stable storage and transport of biological evidence. These products support the integrity of nucleic acids and protein markers during the period between collection and laboratory analysis, helping to maintain the evidentiary value of samples through the chain of custody.
Seratec Hema Trace — Bloodstain Identification
The Seratec Hema Trace is a sensitive lateral flow immunoassay for the identification of human haemoglobin in forensic bloodstain samples. It provides a rapid, specific presumptive test for the presence of human blood and is well established in forensic laboratory practice internationally. Simple to use, requiring minimal equipment and training.
