Forensic Analysis on the Cutting Edge (eBook, PDF)

New Methods for Trace Evidence Analysis

Redaktion: Blackledge, Robert D.

Beschreibung

This title brings forensic scientists and chemists up-to-date on the latest instrumental methods for analysing trace evidence, including mass spectrometry, image analysis, DIOS-MS, ELISA characterization, statistical validation, and others. * Illustrates comparative analysis of trace evidence by both old and new methods. * Explains why some newer methods are superior to older, established methods. * Includes chapters on analysis of DNA, ink, dyes, glitter, gun powder traces, condom trace evidence, footwear impressions, toolmark impressions, surveillance videos, glass particles, and dirt. * Discusses applications such as mass spectrometry, image analysis, desorption-ionization on silicon mass spectrometry (DIOS-MS), ELISA characterization, and statistical validation.

Rezensionen

"Overall, this handbook can be recommended to all analysts working in the field of forensic sciences, particularly since the price is acceptable." (J Am Soc Mass Spectrom, 2011)
"Forensic Analysis on the Cutting Edge is an engaging book and accessible to al bachelors-levels scientists and above. I would recommend it to those practicing in the field, to analytical scientists possibly to science-oriented mystery writers who want to write sensibly about one of the unusual pieces of trace evidence covered by Blackledge and his contributors. The book certainly deserves a place on the reference shelf in university libraries." ( Applied Spectroscopy , April 2008)

"This book will be most useful to practicing forensic scientists (criminalists) engaged in trace-evidence analysis and to university students." ( International Journal of Environmental and Analytical Chemistry , 2008)
