Forensic analysis
Forensic scientists often analyze a large and varied range of samples, hoping to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a suspect is innocent or guilty. From the identification of counterfeit money to identification and trace analysis of drugs, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Fourier Transform Raman (FT-Raman) spectroscopy provide users the ability to obtain the chemical information needed for determinations of unknown samples.
FTIR and Raman spectroscopy in forensic analysis
FTIR and Raman spectroscopy are well-established techniques that support law enforcement and criminal justice efforts, ensuring that data can be trusted and verdicts stick. Thermo Fisher Scientific provides solutions and expertise for forensic scientists to excel and keep the public safe. Sign up below to hear from leading industry experts and our internal experts how FTIR and FT-Raman spectroscopy can help you find critical forensic answers.
Forensics webinars on FTIR and Raman spectroscopy
On-demand webinar: Safe analysis of hazardous chemicals with fiber optic-ATR and FT-Raman
Many hazardous, high-potency, illicit drugs, such as fentanyl, require that their identification and characterization be carried out in a safe manner. In this presentation, safe analysis of these drugs using fiber-optic based Attenuated Total Reflectance-FTIR and FT-Raman is discussed and demonstrated.
Speaker:
