Liquid Collection Kit	Liquid Collection Refill Kit

The TED system incorporates a vacuum device with different end attachments specifically designed for the appropriate evidence to be collected.  The evidence is collected in lab-ready vials for fast lab processing to minimize manual handling.  Liquids or dissolved blood, semen, skin cells, powders and fibers are drawn into the TED liquid collection vial using the TED vacuum handle. The TED vacuum adapter allows for the attachment of various vials with and without preservatives (like EDTA or DNAgard from Biomatrica) and tips for the collection and filtration of liquids. The TED vacuum adapter has a membrane that will prevent liquids from entering the pump. Once the sample has been collected into the vial, the tip is removed and placed into another vial for shipment to the lab along with the liquid vial.  Upon receipt at the lab, the tip and vial can be processed using standard laboratory techniques. With TED there is no cutting and all our tips and vials are inert to all extraction buffers.
