    Study Notes

    Equipment Used in Forensic Examination

    • HPLC (High Powered Liquid Chromatography)

      • Essential for determining both the identity and concentration of compounds.
      • Capable of separating volatile and non-volatile components within samples.
    • Ultra-violet Spectrophotometer

      • Provides both qualitative and quantitative analysis of organic compounds.
      • Utilizes UV light to assess absorbance and concentration levels.
    • EMIT (Enzyme Multiple Immuno Assay Technique)

      • Specializes in screening urine samples for drug abuse.
      • Employs enzyme reactions to detect specific analytes in biological fluids.
    • SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope)

      • Facilitates the physical identification of questioned specimens.
      • Offers high-resolution imaging by scanning samples with focused electron beams.
    • FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy)

      • Used to identify pure organic substances by measuring their infrared absorption.
      • Effective in providing molecular fingerprinting of compounds for forensic analysis.
