Re: Forensic Science Trivia Game I'm assuming this is modern DNA analysis- because if it's old DNA analysis (radiographic), 1 week per loci. I would think the absolute minimum would be 4 hours, but depending on how hard the DNA is to extract, it could take a little longer. The process is extraction, then amplification (PCR is not really a quantitative method, although there are some semi-quantitative techniques, I'm not sure they'd hold up to reasonable doubt in court), then capillary electrophoresis. In real life the problem is that the samples go into a queue and wait. The actual analysis does not take that long. The rechecks add time, and the fact that the labs are understaffed greatly slow down the process.
Re: Forensic Science Trivia Game hellooo anyone here? waiting for a new question. hellooo? *echo echo echo*
Re: Forensic Science Trivia Game Someone else can go. I had read in a news article on this site, which was a newspaper article with two real life CSIs, and they said it takes a minimum of 40 man hours. Maybe one of those wonderful, smart, and sometimes beautiful, mods could look for it in the archive, I looked and couldn't find it.

Re: Forensic Science Trivia Game :lol: that's funny, because .08 is pretty common for most states and I was going off of what my own state's legal limit is! I will try to post one later this evening or tomorrow.......
Re: Forensic Science Trivia Game What are the four catagories that motor vehicle accidents can be divided into?
Re: Forensic Science Trivia Game do you mean like 1) Pedestrian 2) Driver 3) Pedestrian control 4) Driver control someone mentioned that in their speech I think that is what they were.
Re: Forensic Science Trivia Game I am looking more for types of Motor Vehicle Accidents, such as the first most common type is Front Impact Crashes. Does this help?
