OUR MISSION:
We are an
independent Chemical and Electrical engineering laboratory, dedicated to
supporting fire investigators. We provide rapid results and analysis to
domestic and international customers.
OUR RESULTS:
Our rapid
turn-around time means that verbal results from analysis and engineering
are generally available by the next business day. We follow this with a
written report that concisely states our findings.
Forensic and
Scientific Testing, Inc. would like to be your source for quality Forensic
Chemistry and Electrical Failure Analysis. We hope you will consider us
when you have needs in this area.
