Based on laboratory protocols, the designated laboratory personnel initially reviews the evidence submission documentation and determines the type of evidence and examinations required.

These protocols determine

  • the hub of the chain of custody for this evidence submission,
  • the decision-maker for the distribution of the evidence,
  • the sequence of examinations for each evidence item,
  • the assignment of examinations to particular examiners.
