The vacuum cleaner top is a disposable nozzle for the collection and securing of microtraces, even when they are so small that they cannot be spotted with the naked eye. If the vacuum cleaner top is used as a disposable, each collection of material (hair, fibers, pollen, etc.) can be said with 100% certainty to come from the crime scene just processed. The vacuum cleaner top is fitted with a tapered adapter and a stabilizing rubber O-ring for mounting on all common vacuum cleaner models.

The collected evidence is retained on the filter paper in the microfilter unit. After vacuuming is completed, the microfilter is removed and covered with an optically correct plastic lid, so that it can be viewed directly under an optical microscope.

When a window or door is forced by a burglar, small metallic parts of the tool (for example, a screw driver) can break off and be used for a physical match. When searching for them with a magnet, wrapping a piece of paper around the magnet (see photo left) will facilitate later removal of the particles collected.
