Approach
Examination of the origin, nature and features of a biological object
Biological examination helps establish whether an object is a biological material, whether it is of plant or animal origin, its features and group, and its possible connection with an object, event, raw material or product.
Some tasks may require laboratory testing, microscopy, comparison samples or the involvement of a laboratory in the relevant field.
- Plant specimens:
seeds, leaves, wood, bark, fibres, pollen, plant fragments. - Animal specimens:
animal hair, individual animal hairs, feathers, skin, fur, bone fragments, raw materials of animal origin. - Materials:
photographs, packaging, sampling record, conditions of discovery, comparison samples. - Deliverable:
specialist opinion, forensic examination, expert report review or questions for court.
Important: the website does not claim to perform forensic medical, DNA, veterinary or sanitary and epidemiological examinations. Such tasks require specialists and laboratories in the relevant fields.
