Body fluid traces recovered at crime scenes are among the most important types of evidence
to forensic investigators. They contain valuable DNA evidence which can identify a suspect …

Protein is a major component of all biological evidence, often the matrix that embeds other
biomolecules such as polynucleotides, lipids, carbohydrates, and small molecules. The …

Near-infrared (NIR) Raman spectroscopy was used to measure spectra of dried human
blood samples from multiple donors. Two major questions addressed in this paper involve …

Body fluid (BF) identification is a critical part of a criminal investigation because of its ability
to suggest how the crime was committed and to provide reliable origins of DNA. In contrast …

Forensic analysis has become one of the most growing areas of analytical chemistry in
recent years. The ability to determine the species of origin of a body fluid sample is a very …

The potential use of Raman spectroscopy for nondestructive, confirmatory identification of
body fluids at the crime scene has been reported recently (Virkler and Lednev, Forensic Sci …

The goal of this study is to explore the application of epigenetic markers in the identification
of biofluids that are commonly found at the crime scene. A series of genetic loci were …

A great potential of Raman spectroscopy for non-destructive, confirmatory identification of
body fluids at the crime scene has been reported recently (Virkler and Lednev, Forensic Sci …

Wastewater treatment center (WTC) workers may be vulnerable to diseases caused by
viruses, such as the common cold, influenza and gastro-intestinal infections. Although there …

Although, DNA typing plays a decisive role in the identification of persons from blood and
body fluid stains in criminal investigations, clarifying the origin of extracted DNA has also …
