Sanax ISO 18385 Logo

As of November 2016, Sanax Medical was the first company in the world to be certified to ISO 18385-2016 “Minimizing the risk of human DNA contamination in products used to collect, store and analyse biological material for forensic purposes”.

Since May 2012, our premises have had a custom-built clean room to assist us in preparing kits to the highest quality, in line with the International Standard.

Certification to the International Standard involves extensive monitoring of our receivals, collection and production of all kits and kit components. Our forensic kits are traceable via batch number tracking and monitoring. In addition, we undertake regular DNA sampling and analysis of the kits we produce, and our production environment, to ensure that contaminant DNA is present at levels that will not interfere with the end user’s lab analysis or investigation.

We currently produce sampling kits for a wide range of customers, with varying specific end user needs, and would be happy to assist you in designing any kit you may require. All of our kits are designed to adhere to chain of custody and evidence collection protocols, which is achieved by the utilisation of tamper evident bags and seals as well as customised serial numbered and bar-coded products.

Sanax Medical also supplies a wide range of forensic consumables including gloves, protective clothing, fingerprint powders and lifters, and exhibit collection solutions, with a large selection of reputable brands including Police Science Industries (PSI), Sirchie, Forensic Source (Lightning), Whatman, QIAGEN, Puritan, Copan and Prochoice just to name a few.

With over 20 years’ experience in forensic kit production and consumable supply, and a dedicated, qualified forensic team, we have the ability to assist you with any, and all of your forensic supply requirements and happily welcome the opportunity to discuss with you how we can help. Please contact our Forensic Co-ordinator via phone on (08) 6240 5500 or email cody@sanaxmedical.com.au to discuss your specific requirements.

Sanax Medical are a proud member of the Australian and New Zealand Forensic Science Society (ANZFSS) of WA and through them we keep abreast of technological and importantly, policy developments within Australia.
