Analytical Sections

Once the evidence has been received by the laboratory, it will be assigned to one or more forensic units for analysis; each unit, in turn, assigns a scientist to take charge of the evidence and its analysis. Many times, more than one scientist will be asked to analyze an item of evidence, and then arrangements must be made to get the evidence to each scientist in a logical order. For example, a gun may have to be test fired, but also may contain fingerprints and suspected blood. The examinations must be per formed in an order that will not disrupt or destroy any of the evidence on the gun. In some laboratories, one forensic scientist may be certified to examine several of these evidence types; in larger laboratories that have the luxury of specialization, a scientist may examine only one or two.
