FORENSICS
Cat. #193 Forensic Enzymology
For 10 Groups. Enzymes can accomplish a lot but can they also solve a crime? In this simulation experiment, students will determine the level of the enzyme amylase for two drivers to determine who was responsible for a deadly accident. They’ll use an iodine test to visualize the disappearance of the substrate (starch) and they’ll use a Dinitrosalicylic acid test to visualize the appearance of produce (maltose). A great way to understand enzymatic reactions in a fun and engaging forensic context.
• Understand the role of enzymes as biological catalysts. • Determine enzyme activity levels based on two colorimetric tests.
• Observe how enzyme levels affect substrate disappearance & product creation rate. • Learn forensic analysis procedures that maintain the integrity of the evidence.

Cat. #194 Forensic Enhancement Techniques
For 10 Groups. Trace amounts of blood are often sufficient to identify the individual responsible for any number of crimes, including murder, burglary, or assault. Enhancement procedures can make a small stain of body fluid or tissue visible to the naked eye. In this experiment, students will act as detec - tives following the aftermath of a drug bust involving gang warfare over territory. Reagents that are routinely used as a first screen will be utilized to detect simulated blood and DNA. In addition, biological materials will be recovered from splatters, blood trajectory, and small droplets of simulated human materials.
