Real evidence, real learning whether on campus, hybrid or online
Whether your courses are fully online, on campus or hybrid, our forensic science labs can help you elevate the learning experience for all students and reinforce critical concepts by:
- Better preparing students with virtual pre-labs before in-person labs
- Using at-home hands-on labs to create an experience comparable to on campus, helping students build practical skills applicable for additional courses and careers in forensic science
- Supplementing hands-on labs with digital lessons like blood spatter analysis, DNA extraction, and documenting crime scenes
- Balancing time spent on campus for hybrid students with convenient, accessible & efficient ways to engage in quality learning experiences
- More easily expand sections to meet demand with hands-on kits for on-campus courses

Delivering interactive forensic science lab experiences has never been easier.
Hands-on forensic labs for effective, high quality courses
When you want to more deeply engage students and create a learning experience that is designed to mirror the excitement and complexity of real criminal investigations, give students the opportunity to analyze trace evidence, conduct fingerprint identifications, and reconstruct crime scenes — all from their own workspace, on campus or at home.
- Foster an authentic and engaging lab experience where students not only learn the science — they apply it in the context of legal investigations, critical thinking, and ethical decision-making
- Increase the likelihood students can use your course for transfer credit if needed
- Implement quickly and easily into your current courses
