From Submission to Court: The Basics of a Forensic Biology Laboratory

So often, forensic laboratories are fundamentally disconnected from investigators and prosecutors without little understanding of what happens as an item of evidence is submitted to a lab and is eventually transformed into a result in a laboratory report. This session will specifically examine both the layout and basic wokflow of a forensic biology laboratory as evidence ultimately progresses from submission to the reported information used in court. By understanding the basics of lab design, workflow, and the rigor that goes into foresnic biology laboratory validation, multidisciplinary team members will have a better appreciation of the processes and quality therein as it applies to fully examining items of evidence for a use in a court of law.

Learning Objectives

1. Review basic lab design and understand the importance of lab design to mitigate contamination and carryover.

2. Explore basics of forensic biology lab workflow: serology, DNA, and profile interpretation.

3. Identify major types of validation and the impact of validation on methods and results thereof.
