1. Collection vial—for urine.
2. Collection vial—for blood.
3. Pubic hair combings specimen envelope
used in the collection of possible foreign material in the pubic hair of the victim.
4. Head hair combings specimen envelope
used in the same way as pubic hair combings, but for hair on the head of the victim.
5. Vaginal smear slides
used in the collection of semen fluid for DNA evidence deposited by the assailant in the vagina of the victim. One slide is used for the vaginal area and the other is used for the specimen taken from the cervix of the victim.
6. Smear slides
used to collect DNA (seminal fluid) from other areas where the perpetrator's DNA may be found on the victim such as those resulting from the anal or oral penetration of victim.
7. Swabs
used in the collection of seminal fluid for DNA evidence that the perpetrator may have left on the victim (anal, oral, or other areas).
8. Vaginal swabs(4)
used to collect seminal fluid for DNA evidence of the perpetrator.
9. Cervical swabs (2)—
used to collect seminal fluid from the cervix for DNA evidence of the perpetrator.
10. Saliva standard swabs
used to collect DNA evidence of the perpetrator from the victim's mouth.
11. Buccal swab
used to collect the victim's DNA.
12. Extra swabs
to collect possible semen from the perpetrator wherever it may be found on the victim.
13. Extra swabs
used to collect saliva left by the perpetrator from areas that may have been bitten, licked, or kissed.
14. Underwear specimen bag.
15. Genoprobe
used to screen for chlamydia and gonorrhea. This is taken at the time of evidence collection.
The same kit is used to collect evidence with male victims, but the differences are in the genoprobe that is used in the physical areas of the body from where the evidence is collected. Instead of vaginal swabs, penile swabs are used as well as anal or penile cultures for gonorrhea.
