Additionally, our services may include firearm function testing and operability, serial number restoration, muzzle-to-object distance determination, and the examination of tools and toolmarks.

Our experts provide consultation on a wide range of serology and DNA-related matters, including presumptive and confirmatory testing of blood, semen, saliva, skin cells, and touch DNA evidence; criminal and civil paternity cases; DNA techniques such as extraction, quantification, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), capillary electrophoresis, and robotics; complex mixture interpretation involving inclusions and exclusions of individuals from evidence; and statistical calculations.
