Items from multiple manufacturers are included in the set

Continuing from the previous time, this time is the details of the contents of the evidence collection kit "Evidence Packaging Kit" (Reference: The 320th "The evidence collection kit at the scene of the incident was a little noisy").

It is a kit for collecting evidence items so as not to lose the ability of evidence at the scene of the incident.

Not all items are from the same manufacturer, but products from several manufacturers are included, such as Crime Scene for paper bags and ProAmpac for plastic bags.

Syringe etc. in a special case

Last time, I introduced 3 types of bags, so this time I will start with the 4th "Syringe / Sharps Collection Tubes w / corks——Syringe / Sharps collection tube". It's not a gentle name, but it's an item for collecting the very uneasy things.

Syringe / sharp object collection tube is a tube that holds sharp objects.Contains a cushion to protect the tip of the evidence

Injuries are scary when carrying evidence that can hurt an investigator, such as a syringe with a needle, but blood infections are even more scary. If a pathogen that is transmitted through the blood is contained in the deposit of evidence, it can be transmitted from the wound. To prevent this, use this special case instead of a plastic bag.

The cap is made of vinyl.The square is to prevent rolling

It is made of transparent plastic and has a diameter of about 2.9 cm. The length was 20.3 cm, so it's 8 inches. A red cap is placed on one side and a black cap is fitted on the other side.

At first, you didn't know which side to open. The red one is more like a lid, but the white cushioning material is a stopper, and I feel like pulling it out like unplugging wine.

The label sticker inside had the manufacturer name "TRITECH FORENSICS" written on it, so I looked at the site, but unfortunately there was only a photo with the lid closed and I couldn't find the correct answer.

So, as a result of various searches, it is said that this cushioning material is not a stopper, but a syringe needle is pierced here to fix the syringe. It's a mass of polyethylene, and it's like a cushioning material, it's just a cushioning material. It has an elastic and slimy feel that is used in the packaging of home appliances. At the same time as fixing the syringe, it also has the role of containing the liquid inside the syringe when it leaks.

That's why the red one turned out to be the lid. It is made of soft vinyl, and when you remove it, pull it out. After inserting the evidence, just insert it tightly. It's not a screw, but it's fixed quite firmly so you don't have to worry about it coming off naturally.

I wrote that the polyethylene block looks like a wine stopper, but the list says w / corks, so it may be that cork was originally used. Or is this also called cork?

After inserting the syringe, attach the label

"POLICE EVIDENCE SEAL" is written on the label sticker attached to the collection tube. An elongated sticker with a length of approximately 19.3 cm and a width of 2.6 cm.

Comes with a label sticker that shows the name of the person who sealed it.The biohazard mark is terrible

This is a sticker to prevent unauthorized opening and tampering, and the name and date of the person who sealed it are entered. The phrase "To be removed by authorized personnel only" is a reminder that you should not remove it without permission.

I'm not sure how to use this because it doesn't show how to use it, but I think it's not like wrapping it around or sealing it on the cap, but sticking it on the side of the tube. With this, you can barely seal the cap, and the length of the seal is perfect, so I think it's the length.

If you put the sticker on the side, it fits in front of the square part of the red cap and fits perfectly.

This is probably incorrect, as the side of the cap will float if you stick it like a seal.

The sticker has the "BIOHAZARD" mark on it. This is a warning that "a disaster caused by a pathogen may be caused". It's a familiar mark in games, but if it's actually affixed, it's likely to be a little scary.

The inside of the tube is contaminated and cannot be reused. Once used, it will be discarded.

Tag plate to be fixed with a cable tie

The next "Small Red Evidence Tags (# ET-SR), 6" long——Small Evidence Tag ”is a tag that attaches to large proof items such as trunk cases and furniture.

It is made of UV resistant plastic and has a fixing band on the plate for writing notes. There are no stamps or prints that can be used as clues to the manufacturer's name, and the manufacturer is unknown. However, considering the shape of the base of the band and the holes, I think this is also made by TRITECH FORENSICS.

A plastic tag that attaches to the evidence.Write a note on the plate with a marker

The size of the plate is 3 inches wide x 2 inches long. Actually, the width is about 7.8 cm and the height is about 5.3 cm, which is a little big. Write a date or note on this plate with a marker, attach a label sticker, and wrap the band around the evidence to attach it. The length of the band is 6 inches, but when I measured it, it was a little long, about 15.8 cm.

The band is a cable tie, so you can attach it to the evidence with one touch. When the tip of the band is inserted into the hole, it is locked by a latch and cannot be removed unless it is destroyed.

It was red in this kit, but when I looked at the TRITECH FORENSICS site, it was also yellow, green, and blue. I wonder if it will be color-coded according to the importance and location. In addition to this 6-inch band, a long type of 18-inch is also available.

A label sticker that sticks to bags and evidence

Next is "Box BreakAway Evidence Tape", but "100 Pack, Evidence Labels (# 3-1000), 2" x 2 "—— Evidence Labels (# 3-1000), 2 inch x Let's start with "2 inches".

A sticker-type label that can be attached to bags, containers, or large evidence items.You can write down the date and time and the summary

It is a square label with a length and width of 2 inches (approximately 5.1 cm square), and the items to be entered are the case number, item number, collection date and time, collection location, remarks, collector name / technical officer name. It is a sticker and you can peel off the release paper and attach it.

In addition to sticking it on plain plastic bags, paper bags, boxes, inspection containers, etc. that do not have memo fields printed on it, it is also said that it can be stuck directly on large evidence items such as tires, bicycles, and televisions.

And this is also the one to put on the previous tag. The vertical size is 2 inches, which is the same as the plate, so it fits perfectly.

It came in a pack of 10 or 100, and this kit contained 100 packs.

With a standard American marker

There is another marker related to the tag. That's why "Sharpie Markers" are oil-based markers.

Oil-based markers are now called markers, but in the past they were called magic. When I was a kid, I didn't have McKee yet, and the oil-based marker was "magic ink" with a "?" Mark. That's why magic became a common noun, and it was used like "isn't it magic?"

Contains two black American classic markers Sharpie

Sharpie is a standard marker in the United States, and it is said that it is also used as a general term for oil-based markers like magic. I bought it because I knew it from the photos of the US military, so I thought it was a purveyor to the US military, but it wasn't particularly for the US military, but it was a very general marker. Of course, it is also often used in LEs (Law enforcement, law enforcement agencies) such as police and highway patrols.

Two such Sharpies are included. It is used when filling in plastic bags and tag plates.

Up to here for this time. Next time, from the Break Away Evidence Tape that I skipped this time!
