There are various members of the Dermapak family to choose from and our people can advise which suit what purpose. There are six main models of specimen containers and then there is the Customised 2000 series which does what it says; you customise the model to have your company name and logo on it et cetera. The Type 3 is made entirely from a special grade matt black material folded to form the specimen containment area. This type is useful to help prevent sweating of the specimen, if it is to be kept for long periods for further laboratory specimen investigations.
The L/S Film is perfect for hair specimens as there is a treated clear plastic window allows a preliminary inspection of the sample before being opened. The window is anti static so the small specimens, be it hair or nail clippings, will not be affected by a static charge.
Laboratory specimens such as skin scrapings and hair specimens when being transported for analysis need to be kept secure so as not to allow the sample to be contaminated. The results of tests need to be accurate for obvious reasons and the only way to ensure complete sanitary is to use
Dermapak envelopes and containers when taking samples outside of the lab.

Nail clipping samples can be used to tell us many things about the person they came from, from the general health of that person to finding the remains of what they have been handling such as food or materials. On television we are used to seeing nail clippings being used to uncover the killer in a murder mystery; this isn't all show biz razzmatazz, nails can tell us many things.
When being transported to a laboratory for testing nail clipping samples need to be kept away from anything that might contaminate them and so housing them in a secure environment is a must if you are to produce and accurate analysis of the sample. For this reason Dermaco developed the Dermapak range of specimen containers and envelopes.
The range has been used and developed for nineteen years and in that time we have been working with eminent specialists to make the product as effective and easy to use as possible. Out system is being used throughout the United Kingdom in Pharmaceutical and medical establishments as the industry standard and is now taking off in the USA and in Australia. Whether you are transporting skin scrapings, hair or nail clipping samples there is a Dermapak suitable which you can view on this website. Some of the range is customisable so you can add your address and logo to the packs should you desire. Ask about the 2000 series for further details.
