LGC product story

Science service company LGC has announced the new brand for the forensic dimension of its analytical and diagnostic business: LGC Forensics.
Science service company LGC has announced the new brand for the forensic dimension of its analytical and diagnostic business: LGC Forensics.
This follows the acquisition of Forensic Alliance Limited (FAL) in 2005, and its subsequent merger with LGC's forensic services division.
LGC Forensics is headed by Dr Angela Gallop, a Director of LGC, and is now LGC's largest division.
Dr Angela Gallop, Director, LGC Forensics, said: "We are delighted to reveal the new brand for our combined forensic business.
LGC Forensics is an unrivalled source of scientific skill and expertise across the entire forensic spectrum of offence and case types.
It provides a greater capacity to service larger volumes of work from larger forces over a significantly wider geographical spread.
At its heart will be an enrichment programme to anticipate the needs of modern policing by providing what I term 'frontline forensics'." Dr Nigel Law, LGC's Chief Executive, said: "Forensic Alliance and LGC's forensic services division had established excellent reputations in their own right.
Both sets of our customers told us that we needed to create a unified identity and this is what we have done.
LGC Forensics is a unified brand, externally driven, based on excellent science and excellent service.
We aim to be the provider of choice for police forces in the UK and, in time, to build on LGC's current international operations to offer forensic services throughout Europe and beyond." LGC Forensics is investing in large-scale plans to expand the capability of its forensic operations in Teddington, Culham and Cheshire, and to build up its smaller facilities at Tamworth, Leeds and elsewhere.
In response to unprecedented demand for both digital and DNA analysis, extensions to these types of facilities are already underway.
New, purpose-built facilities at LGC's Runcorn site - to analyse fire debris and contact traces and marks - further demonstrate its commitment to meeting customer needs across the UK.
