Details

Forensic chemists are responsible for analyzing and identifying unknown substances, such as drugs and narcotics, that are found at a crime scene. In this activity, students will learn how forensic chemists can use simple chemical tests and reactions to help determine the identity of an unknown substance. Students will perform a variety of presumptive tests on an unknown substance along with a series of known controls. By comparing the test results of the unknown with those of the controls, the most likely composition of the unknown will be determined. Teacher's Manual and Student Study Guide copymasters are included. Kit contains enough materials for 15 groups.

He has been able to answer my questions and concerns quickly, and helped in securing the order that I may have made with another supplier had be not been the value-add that he is to your company. I hope his merit raise this FY was "exceeds expectations".

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

John C.

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
