Criminal Forensics

Botanical, geological and stable isotope services for a safer society.

Every criminal either takes something from the scene or leaves something behind. If that something involves grit, sand, soil, dust, spores or pollen we can help.

Axzons has been involved in forensic work for many years, with broad experience working individually and in team situations with police and scientists from other Crown Research Institutes. We act as an impartial and independent advisor to government and local body entities, industry, defence and prosecution lawyers and the general public with all activities conducted in the strictest confidence.

We look for something unexpected, unusual, and of rare occurrence that can help us solve the problem presented to us. Alternatively, we can confirm or disprove that the evidential material is consistent with control samples from the scene.
