Puritan Medical Products Company develops and manufactures a broad line of tipped applicators and transport devices for every application, including evidence and specimen collection. The Puritan line ranges from basic cotton tips with wood handles to patented polyester flock swabs, with packaging configurations from bulk to individually wrapped sterile and even DNA-free. Puritan's appreciation for the complexities of the forensic realm is evident in every detail of the products produced for this market. Established in 1919, this family-owned company is based in Maine. Puritan has three GMP-compliant, high-output facilities in Maine, delivering unparalleled quality and ready supply. Made in the USA.

Puritan Medical Products is a family-owned, American company known worldwide as the most trusted manufacturer of swabs. But we didn't stop there. As our customers’ needs have evolved, so have we. This has resulted in an ever-expanding line of products that takes advantage of the most up-to-date materials and manufacturing processes to deliver innovative solutions for even the most demanding applications.

Forensics professionals have relied on Puritan swabs for clean and accurate sampling for years, and have come to depend on our various swab protection and transport systems as well, safely getting the sample back to the lab after collection. Now, more researchers are using our swabs for the sampling of genetic material. Available with foam, flocked, or cotton tips, our DNA-free and RNase-free sampling swabs have been tested by an independent lab to the most stringent standards. The result? Our swabs are certified to be DNA-free at a threshold lower than any other swabs on the market today.
