Forensics

When forensics – the scientific examination of evidence related to a crime to aid in legal investigations and solve criminal cases – is needed, we have the solutions. Thermo Fisher Scientific provides powerful, flexible forensics and resources essential for investigating and prosecuting crime. Our forensics science offerings include innovative analytical instruments, automation, databases, and recommendations of good laboratory practices for proper evidence collection and application in the justice system.

Forensic DNA Analysis (Human Analysis)

Streamlined, end-to-end workflows for forensic DNA analysis can help resolve difficult cases and provide investigative leads in a forensically responsible manner.

Forensic Toxicology

Not all forensic toxicology laboratories are created equally. Whether you need to screen and confirm known compounds, identify unknowns, or advance forensic research, we offer a solution to meet your current and future needs.

Drug Screening & Confirmation

Rapid, accurate identification of drugs of abuse is crucial to protecting public safety. New derivatives of illicit substances proliferate, complicating identification, while evolving laws and growing caseloads add to challenges. Discover our toxicology testing solutions for streamlined, accurate analyses.

Anti-doping

To uphold competitive sports integrity, drug testing authorities must help deliver quick, accurate results for a wide range of abused substances. New doping analytes constantly emerge, raising the bar for certainty.

Controlled Substances

The prevalence of controlled substance misuse creates backlogs for law enforcement and criminal justice labs. Synthetic drugs require advanced techniques to identify multiple drugs accurately. Explore tools that offer rapid, reliable analysis for drug identification in the field, at point of need, and in the lab.

Trace Evidence Detection

Enhance the probative value of your evidence with multi-dimensional analysis by FTIR and induction-coupled mass spectrometry.

Suspicious Documents

Peer-proven tools for paper and ink investigation assist in analysis of suspicious documents involved in theft identity, forgery, document and currency counterfeiting, and fraud.
