Forensic Science and Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
20 Aug 2013Spectroscopic techniques are widely used in identification and routine analysis in the forensic science laboratory. Raman spectroscopy is an attractive technique that supplies full chemical fingerprint information. It can be used for identification and comparison of unknown substances that are often present at an incident scene. This application note demonstrates how Klarite SERS substrates can enable high sensitivity Raman tests to be done quickly and easily.

Raman SpectroscopyRaman spectroscopy is used to discern the vibrational and rotational states of molecules and hence the chemical composition of a sample by measuring the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light. Explore a range of Raman spectrometers, including handheld/portable Raman spectrometers for QC/QA labs and in situ spectrometers for processes. Conduct Raman imaging for microanalysis of mixed samples using a Raman microscope. Raman spectrographs are also available.

Forensic genetic instruments, kits and reagents enable the analysis of evidence collected at the crime scene. Reagents and kits for presumptive analysis for body fluids such as blood, saliva and semen in addition to drugs and narcotics test kits are used for CSI. Fingerprinting equipment, forensic light sources, casting kits and equipment for collecting recoverable materials can be found in the directory.Forensic InvestigationForensic investigation is a diverse collection of scientific techniques and methods for the identification and characterization of chemicals relating to crime scene investigations.
