FORENSIC APPLICATIONS
Determine geographic origin, dietary habits, and environmental exposure
FORENSIC APPLICATIONS
Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) is a key tool in forensic science, used to uncover the origins and histories of various materials. By examining the isotopic signatures of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen in evidence like hair, bones, drugs, and explosives, IRMS can help determine geographic origin, dietary habits, and environmental exposure. This precise isotopic analysis aids in criminal investigations, providing crucial information that can link suspects to crime scenes, verify alibis, and trace illicit substances, thus enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of forensic investigations.
