STK Spray

Screen the whole scene 
Never leave an evidence behind

What is STK Spray?

STK Spray is the first screening solution that enables a sharp localization of sperm traces directly on the rape scene, whatever the suspected material but textile (floor, furniture, door handle, sink, tree leaves, grass, gravels…).

STK Spray disrupts current procedures by instantly and reliably detecting semen traces directly on the scene.

AXO Science’s goal is to empower Police forces with leading technologies by bringing this new tool to the very hands of Crime Technicians on site and allow a complete screening of a rape case.

Stop wasting time with tons of false positives and never leave a crucial evidence behind again.

We have tested STK Spray and STK Lab on simulated and real samples and have had positive results in both cases. We believe these products are valuable for forensic laboratories analysing sexual assault cases

I have been able to use STK Spray and Lab in high-profile cases and I have also used it in cases after 6 months of committing the crimes and always I had excellent results.

Carlos A. Gutierrez, Ph.D. Assist. Professor - International Forensic Consultant of TFS (USA)

For my CSI, I was looking for a product that was really effective, discriminating and easy to use in the field, and I found it in STK Spray. I've had great results on the leather seats of a car in a rape cold case.

INPP SP Linda DELHASE - Labo CSI PJF CHARLEROI (Belgium)

Both the STK Lab and Spray worked very well. I tested the products on undilute semen stains on a laminate tile and two dark polyester fabrics. The fluorescence was quickly and clearly visible.

The initial trial of using STK Spray went well. Seminal fluid fluoresced as expected.

Health Science Authority (Singapore)

Results are very promising, sperm dog to locate the area and STK Spray to find the sperm traces in the last square meter, it looks like a very efficient team work.

No, you have to use a 365nm UV light with visible light filter. Not every 365nm UV light give great results, please use a positive control to validate your UV light. We can recommend some specific 365nm UV lamp if needed.
