Forensic Fiber Reference Collection
 

• 200 Synthetic Fibers
• All major generic polymer classes represented
• Large variety of chemical, optical and morphological properties
• Manual with suggested uses for the collection
• Data pages with specific information about each fiber

The Microtrace Forensic Fiber Reference Collection is tailored to suit training and casework needs of fiber sections in forensic science  laboratories. Composed of 200 traceable, authenticated synthetic fibers, the specimens span 15 different generic classes and represent a large variety of commonly encountered features including: bicomponents, hollow fibers, dyed fibers, pigmented fibers and those treated with optical brighteners or flame retardants. Due to an increasing trend toward globalization among fiber producers, this set includes examples of fibers typical of the production of the major manufacturers world wide.

The fiber specimens are packaged in individual polyethylene bags which are conveniently organized in a 3-ring binder. A user’s guide detailing suggested uses as well as information specific to each fiber will allow both trainee and veteran fiber examiners to benefit from this collection. A limited number of these sets have been assembled and are available only to recognized forensic science laboratories.

For specific questions about the set, please contact us.
