For the collection and securing of hairs and fibers from textile surfaces (clothing, car seats and the like) often an adhesive film that has a release liner is used. This type of film has a low tack, so that secured fibers can be removed later if necessary. For taping off an area, a piece of about 5x10 cm is used. The area is systematically processed (the film is applied, rubbed, and removed) till the complete area has been sampled or until the adhesive film has lost its tack.

In the latter case, the processing is continued with a fresh piece of film. On completion, the adhesive film is re-covered with the release liner or is applied to a sheet of transparent plastic (never use ordinary paper, as removing secured fibres from the adhesive film would become very difficult).

Mipo-film
Gellifters and tape

Mipo-film, a low-tack adhesive film with a release liner (siliconized paper). In the liner, a die-cut has been made close to the edge (5 mm) to facilitate removal. The film is packaged as a roll, in a dispenser carton.

For the collection and securing of paint and glass particles, gelatin lifters are used. With gelatin lifters there is no chemical contamination when paint chips are analyzed for the composition of the binder. Glass particles can easily be removed from gelatin lifters for examination of the chemical composition or determination of the refractive index.
