Understanding Drying Cabinets - Forensic
A laboratory forensic drying cabinet is a specialised unit designed to safely dry evidence, such as clothing or other materials, that may be contaminated with biological fluids or hazardous substances. These cabinets provide a controlled, secure environment with filtered airflow, preventing cross-contamination while preserving the integrity of the evidence. HEPA filters ensure contaminants are trapped, and the enclosed space helps protect evidence from environmental exposure. Forensic drying cabinets are crucial in criminal investigations, allowing items to be dried in a manner that retains their forensic value, aiding in DNA analysis, fingerprint detection, and other forensic processes.
