3.Semen Detection (for DNA)--for items that are to be examined for the presence of semen that will be tested for DNA.

Drug Chemistry

1.Marihuana Analysis--for items that are suspected of being or containing marihuana.

2.Drug Analysis--for items suspected of being or containing controlled substances, but not including marihuana.

Firearm/Toolmark

1.Firearm/Ammunition Examination--for firearm examinations and comparisons of ammunition components.

2.Tool Mark Examinations--for comparing tools to toolmarks.

3.Serial Number Restoration--for items with defaced serial numbers that are to be restored.

4.Impression (tire/footwear examination) -- for examination of tire/footwear impressions.

5.Shooting Distance -- for items such as clothing that need to be analyzed for muzzle-to-target distance determination. This exam involves clothing with a suspect bullet hole.

Latent Prints

1.Latent Print Processing--for evidentiary items to be processed to develop latent prints. Latent comparisons and/or AFIS entry are assumed if latent prints of value are developed.

2.Latent Print Comparison--for comparisons of latent prints developed at the scene with known exemplars. AFIS entry is assumed if manual comparisons with known exemplars yield negative results or if there are no known subjects listed.

3.AFIS Entry-- for latent prints to be searched through the AFIS database. This is to be selected only at GHQ lab by agencies who employ latent print examiners to conduct manual verification of AFIS results.

4.Postmortem Identification -- for comparisons and/or AFIS entry of postmortem prints.

Toxicology

2.Urine Drug Analysis--for urine samples to be analyzed for drugs.

3.Blood Drug Analysis--for blood samples to be analyzed for drugs.

4.Blood Carbon Monoxide Analysis--for blood samples to be analyzed for carbon monoxide.

5.Foreign Substance (food/drink-poison)--for blood, urine, stomach contents, etc to be analyzed for drugs or other poisonous or harmful substances.

9.Hair (with DNA)--for items that contain hair or are to be examined for the presence of hair that have been submitted with other items needing DNA exams.

10.Paint Analysis--for the comparison of paint standards and transfers.

11.Physical Characteristics Comparison--for comparison of items such as tape, wood, plastics and other miscellaneous materials.

12.Soil (collect/compare)--for the detection, collection or comparison of soil standards and questioned soil samples from shoes, clothes or other sources.
