Forensic Analytical Techniques

Description

Forensic Analysis is the application of Analysis to law enforcement or the failure of products or processes As such, forensic Analysis research is applied and derivative by nature and design, and it emphasizes of metrology and validation Department forensic analytical chemistry includes forensic science and technology and forensic chemistry. Forensic science is the application of science to criminal and civil laws. Forensic scientists collect, preserve, and analyse scientific evidence during the course of an investigation. While some forensic scientists travel to the scene to collect the evidence themselves, others occupy a purely laboratory role, performing analysis on objects brought to them by other individuals. In addition to their laboratory role, forensic scientists testify as expert witnesses in both criminal and civil cases and can work for either the prosecution or the defense. While any field could technically be forensic, certain sections have developed over time to encompass the majority of forensically related cases. The organic analytical techniques are carried out for the analysis of organic compounds such as Alcohols, Aldehydes, Alkenes, Amines, Carboxylic acids, Esters, Ketones, Phenols etc. in the unknown substances. Starting with a brief introduction of the chemical analysis for forensic application, some forensic sampling and sample preparation, the book then describes techniques used in forensic chemical sensing in order to solve crimes. The techniques describe current forensic science practices in analytical chemistry and specifically the development of portable detectors to guide the authorities in the field. The analytical techniques are initiated by forensic scientists have continued to enlarge in complexity and improve in reliability. Several new analytical tools have proven useful for toxicology problems in approximately all areas and the technology continue to explore open areas of research. The reader will be able to assess their understanding with the use of regular self assessment questions and discussion questions throughout the book.
