We provide an isotope analysis service for research and practical aspects of forensics and forensic science. In research isotopes can be used to create new methods of extracting further information from evidence. In practice isotopes can identify links between items found at a crime scene with those from a suspect.
We are experienced in forensic isotope analysis of a wide range of sample materials including: explosives; drugs; documents; residues; clothing; packing materials; polymers and oils.

The above services are routinely undertaken and available immediately. The sample sizes given are for guidance purposes only. Analysis by EA-IRMS will normally only consume 1 – 5 mg of sample material. Unused sample material will be returned upon request.

Please contact us if the analyses you require are not listed.
