Forensic Data Analysis (FDA) is a branch of digital forensics that examines structured data with concerning incidents of financial crime. Five common types of forensic analysis, are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), computer, handwriting, bloodstain, and statement analysis. Currently, DNA forensic is experiencing heavy research and development with substantial new product introduction.

Forensic toxicology is used to perform scientific tests to identify any drugs or chemicals present in the body. A toxicology laboratory is a specialized laboratory environment in which drug tests (tox screens) are performed to evaluate the presence of illegal substances.
