They use scientific techniques and advanced laboratory equipment to examine items such as fingerprints, DNA, fibers, and chemical substances.

These skills ensure precise analysis, maintain evidence integrity, and support the reliability of investigations in legal settings.

What are some typical challenges faced by CSI lab technicians when analyzing evidence?

CSI Lab Technicians often encounter challenges such as working with degraded or contaminated evidence, maintaining strict chain-of-custody protocols, and meeting tight deadlines for casework.
