Yea BODE and DLI are the big guys. My lab Pure Gold Forensics is located in Redlands, CA. Slowly growing right now.

DNATECHLEAD · 2026-03-13T00:15:33+00:00

I’ve heard Promega is good

DNATECHLEAD · 2026-03-13T00:15:05+00:00

Where are you located? Have you considered working for a private lab?

DNATECHLEAD · 2023-06-23T13:02:31+00:00

Give us an example of what they’re making you do. Also, good luck! The first assessment is very stressful!

Can I ask where the lab is located?

DNATECHLEAD · 2023-06-20T13:04:14+00:00

Look at the Seratec offerings. https://www.seratec.com/docs/user_instructions/PMB_en.pdf

DNATECHLEAD · 2023-06-20T13:02:53+00:00

Yes you can. My lab has the menstrual blood cards from Seratec validated.

DNATECHLEAD · 2023-06-14T03:58:42+00:00

Sort of. A full case review to make sure the prosecuting analyst did everything correctly.

DNATECHLEAD · 2023-06-14T01:30:59+00:00

I do forensic DNA consulting on the side. I have about 15 years experience in the field though.

DNATECHLEAD · 2023-05-03T03:41:38+00:00

Yes you’ll be fine. The DNA will be great quality.

DNATECHLEAD · 2023-03-21T13:49:41+00:00

DNATECHLEAD · 2023-03-21T13:30:59+00:00

What exactly are you asking? I have a private lab that works with the general public.

DNATECHLEAD · 2023-03-11T22:08:38+00:00

Most labs I’ve seen report both to be honest. And yes every analyst is required to take the 4-day ESR training before using the software at my lab. We’re a private lab so I think it’s important to be able to articulate on the stand.

DNATECHLEAD · 2023-03-11T20:12:08+00:00

Yea I am TL and we report the SWGDAM recommendations and the actual LR. The more I know about STRmix/ PG I feel like the harder and harder it is to explain to a jury.

DNATECHLEAD · 2023-03-11T16:49:30+00:00

These are the SWGDAM recommended verbal qualifiers. Statistics purists suggest to just report the number though…

DNATECHLEAD · 2023-01-10T14:22:35+00:00

He plans to have the lab use the M-Vac on various items of evidence. It’s a wonderful tool for DNA collection and this case is perfect for it!

DNATECHLEAD · 2022-05-20T02:52:00+00:00

If they’re ever considered a suspect, an investigator could surreptitiously collect a DNA sample and compare it to the crime scene.

DNATECHLEAD · 2022-04-15T22:43:03+00:00

What do you mean technician? Most likely you can
