SARC Support Service
Cellmark's forensic scientists have developed a tailored support service to help ensure the best results can be obtained from forensic samples taken at SARCs and to help SARCs meet the Forensic Science Regulator's Code of Practice for Forensic Medical Examination.
DNA Protected
With Dog theft on the rise, DNA protected has been developed to deter thieves, provide dog owners with peace of mind and to help collar the criminals. The Forensic Dog DNA database could play an important role in ensuring that dogs are safely returned to their owners if stolen.
