With a team of more than 400 forensic scientists, DNA analysts and laboratory support staff we offer a comprehensive forensic assessment, evidence recovery, laboratory analysis, and evaluative interpretation service across a spectrum of scientific disciplines. Our forensic casework teams support the investigation of a wide range of volume and major crimes, including rape and sexual offences, assaults and murders.
Scene Attendance
Cellmark offers a 24-hour/365-day-a-year on-call team for attendance at crime scenes. Our comprehensive scene examination service with highly experienced scientists covers a wide range of forensic techniques from blood pattern analysis, body fluid recovery and footwear marks to exhumations and fire scene investigation.
Sexual Offences Service
Our Sexual Offences Service combines traditional forensic expertise with new and innovative approaches to solving crime. By working with some of the UK’s most experienced rape and sexual assault police investigation teams, we have developed an approach that combines a rapid, responsive service, with technology that has pushed the boundaries of detection sensitivity.
Cold Case Review
The ongoing development of forensic techniques is continuing to provide increased detection sensitivity. This, together with the introduction of novel approaches to examining evidence, means that the forensic re-examination of unsolved crimes at Cellmark regularly delivers significant investigative breakthroughs.
