Wet Stains on Absorbent Surfaces
Home > 3. Evidence Collection > Wet Stains on Absorbent Surfaces
Procedures for collecting wet stains on absorbent surfaces are as follows:
- Submit the entire item, if possible.
- Use one or more sterile cotton swabs to soak up the stain.
- If the stain is small, concentrate the stain on the tip of the swab.
- Thoroughly air-dry the sample.
- Document that the stain was found wet and identify from where the stain
was collected.
