 Forensic Testing Laboratory

  Basic Purpose of Laboratory:
Analysis of the range of evidence samples obtained from crime scenes to provide accurate analyses for use in legal proceedings.

Range and Types of Samples:
Covers all types of evidence samples for physical testing, chemical analysis and biological/clinical analysis.

Scope of Work and Supply:
Identification of the analytical procedures to be used; determination of the instruments, equipment, and laboratory information management systems specifications, and consumables, supplies, spare parts required for the operation of a fully functioning Forensic Science Testing Laboratory. Thermo Fisher Scientific's scope can include project management, procurement, delivery, installation, and commissioning, training, warranty and product support, and preventive maintenance agreements to provide fully functioning laboratory on a "turnkey" basis.

Identification of Analytical Methods to be used and recognized by recognized authorities:
Based on analytical procedures recognized by the legal authority in the jurisdiction where the samples were obtained.

Sampling Techniques, Frequencies and Handling:
Covers the identification and implementation of legally recognized techniques for the proper taking of samples for analysis from the crime scene, estimations of the number of required samples for legally required confidence levels and the proper temporary/long-term storage conditions of evidence samples as required for legal proceedings.

Recommended Instrument / Equipment Lists:
Develop and specify instruments, equipment lists based on the selected analytical testing methods for the types of forensic science samples to be analyzed, includes: standard instruments for physical, microbiological and chemical testing, standard lab equipment, lab information management systems, supplies and consumables.

Laboratory Layout:
Layout and design of laboratory furniture and equipment placement that takes into consideration the space available (or defining the space), sample flow, utility requirements and distribution, special requirements for hazardous sample handling, storage, sterilization, sample retention, and office/clerical/supervisory office space. Mobile, or field self-contained testing units are also considered and planned.
