Katelynn Perrault PhD from the University of Honolulu at Pittcon discusses the challenges of odour detection in forensic science and the benefits of 2D gas chromatography over conventional 1D gas ...

In the search and recovery of human remains during mass disasters, homicides, and missing persons investigations, the odor evolved from decomposing bodies is crucial in the search process. One ...

The integration of gas chromatography (GC) with vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful analytical approach for the separation and identification of complex chemical mixtures.

Chemicals become weapons when used deliberately to inflict harm on individuals or groups of people. Chemical forensics makes it possible to get on the perpetrator’s trail even with a small sample. In ...

Forensic analysis of decomposition volatiles examines the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced during the decay of biological tissues, a process that has critical applications both ...

How has Traditional Gas Chromatography Evolved? Although the concept of chromatography was invented in 1900 by a Russian-Italian botanist, Mikhail Tsvet, the concept of Gas Chromatography (GC) ...

Have you watched TV crime shows with glowing test tubes and 50-minute plots and wondered how forensic science actually works? Come learn about the chemistry and biochemistry behind the investigations.

SAN DIEGO, March 13, 2016 -- It's a common forensic TV show trope: A crime is committed, there are no suspects, and then detectives find a faint lipstick mark. The sample is put in an evidence bag and ...

In a recent study published in the Journal of Archaeological Science, Wanyue Zhao and her colleagues used volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to analyze the composition of scents given off by mummies ...

The FLIR Griffin G510 enables military and civil responders to easily sample all phases of matter, including solid, liquid, and vapor, to rapidly identify chemical hazards in the field. The versatile ...
