The DANI instrument has been returned to the vendor, DANI refunded the cost of the equipment to the City, and the DOJ has given us permission to apply the refunded money to the purchase of new equipment.   The City has submitted an invitation to bid on a GC-FID-MS & on a GC-FID.  Both of these instruments will be for BAC analysis.  The GC-FID-MS will be paid for with funds from the 2016 JAG Grant.  The GC-FID will be paid for with the refunded money from DANI, money from the 2016 JAG Grant and from the Crime Laboratory’s existing budget.

 We are also currently in the process of purchasing a remote firing cart, three Hydrogen Generators, a Mideo training system and a new digital camera to replace an old digital camera on a comparison microscope.

 The Crime Laboratory is actively acquiring new and replacement equipment, technology and software in order to become more efficient and to stay on the cutting edge of forensic science.
