BTS offers a number of products with applications in in criminalistics and forensic science laboratories.

Precise Sampling for Trace

• Micro Support’s Axis Pro benchtop micromanipulator is a valuable tool for precise handling of trace samples.  The system permits probe movements smaller than what can typically be done by hand and includes full image and video capabilities to record all procedures of evidence handling.
• A Steve’s Solutions illustrating this application may be found here: Particle and Defect isolation with a benchtop micromanipulator.
• The Axis Pro micromanipulator also provides a simple and rapid method for the separation of paint layers.  A Steve’s Solutions writeup illustrating that application is found below:
