Online Technology Transition Workshops
Making the Leap from Concept to the Crime Lab
NFSTC works with several noted organizations and universities to evaluate emerging and mature technologies to determine whether these tools can be effectively applied in forensic investigations. Technology transition activities for NFSTC include technology evaluations, workshops to train users on new technology, and technology demonstrations at large training venues.
The following technology transition workshops are available online, including workshop agendas, online video of the presentations and the presentation files themselves.
These workshops are now available online:
- Field Investigation Drug Officer (FIDO) Program
- Latent Fingerprint Image Enhancement
- Mitochondrial and STR DNA Analysis by Mass Spectrometry Using the Ibis Biosciences Platform
- DART Mass Spectrometry
- Miniaturized Microfluidic Devices
- Capillary Electrophoresis Microfluidic Devices
- Cedar Fox Questioned Documents Workshop
- Laser Microdissection for Examiners
- Laser Microdissection for Technical Managers and Supervisors
- Liquid Chromotography/Dual Mass Spectrometry
- Polynomial Texture Mapping for Footwear/Tire Impressions
- Raman Spectrometry (in process)
- Near-Infrared Analysis (in process)
The Technology Transition Workshops poster that was presented at the 2010 National Institute of Justice conference provides an overview of the program.
