Preserve Touch DNA on Fired Casings!
New, improved model now available.
NOW AVAILABLE AT:
The Case Grabber is designed to easily collect fired cartridge casings from the inside thereby preserving trace evidence on the casing’s surfaces. A clear plastic protective tube is then attached allowing for secure transport.
Back at the lab, the clear tube is removed and the casing can be readily examined, swabbed, or processed for latent prints. After processing, the casing can be dropped into the tube for storage.
The Case Grabber is an evidence system.
Works with all pistol and rifle calibers: .22 short, 9mm, .45ACP, .223, 7.62×39, .308, etc.
Each Case Grabber comes with an evidence sealing tape (inside the body).
A casing recovered at the scene can be quickly collected, sealed and marked for safe, protected transport.
If you are serious about collecting and protecting trace (DNA) evidence, you should be using the Case Collector.

Casings should not be collected and transported in item boxes and envelopes as this can remove trace DNA:
“DNA transfer within packaging is not only a possibility but, under certain conditions, a very likely occurrence. The average DNA loss was 56.2% . . . “
