CHEM-251 Forensic Science in Society Lab (1)

In this laboratory course, which complements CHEM-250, students design and execute experiments to investigate natural processes central to forensic science. They explore fundamental lab techniques such as sample preparation, fingerprint analysis, document examination, gas chromatography, and thin-layer chromatography. Additionally, students gain hands-on experience with blood typing, drug analysis, DNA analysis, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), applying these techniques to real-world forensic scenarios. AU Core Habits of Mind: Natural-Scientific Inquiry. Corequisite: CHEM-250. Note: Completion of CHEM-250 and CHEM-251 with grades of C or better fulfills AU Core Habits of Mind: Natural-Scientific Inquiry.
