Biology and Serology
Forensic Biology
Detection, species typing, and blood grouping of blood / seminal and other body fluid stains in cases of murder, assault, rape, and disputed paternity are carried out in this division.
Forensic biology applies biological principles to legal investigations. It analyzes materials such as blood, semen, saliva, and hair to identify individuals, connect them to locations or objects, and reconstruct events.

Analysis Procedure
Detection / Identification
Identify suspected stains of biological fluids on submitted exhibits.
