Instrumental hemistry and human identification applications and potential
Main Article Content
Abstract
In the forensic sciences, latent fingerprint - IDL has always been a powerful tool to search for the authorship of a crime. More than 20 years ago, analytical instrumentation has been used to search for other information of this vestige that could be of interest in an investigation. Studies using vibrational spectroscopy were able to demonstrate great potential to inform the age of an IDL, to promote interesting contrasts between the IDL and the surface where it was deposited and to provide qualitative and quantitative chemical information through the analysis of endogenous and exogenous substances found in IDLs such as drugs, metabolites, traces of explosives etc.
