This Title Brings Forensic Scientists and Chemists up to Date on the Latest Instrumental Methods for Analysing Trace Evidence.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c70343) has announced the addition of "Forensic Analysis on the Cutting Edge" to their offering. This title brings forensic scientists and chemists up-to-date on the latest instrumental methods for analysing trace evidence, including mass spectrometry mass spectrometry or mass spectroscopy Analytic technique by which chemical substances are identified by sorting gaseous ions by mass using electric and magnetic fields. , image analysis, DIOS-MS, ELISA ELISA (e-li´sah) Enzyme-Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay; any enzyme immunoassay using an enzyme-labeled immunoreactant and an immunosorbent. ELISA n. characterization, statistical validation, and others. - Illustrates comparative analysis of trace evidence by both old and new methods. - Explains why some newer methods are superior to older, established methods. - Includes chapters on analysis of DNA DNA: see nucleic acid. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid One of two types of nucleic acid (the other is RNA); a complex organic compound found in all living cells and many viruses. It is the chemical substance of genes. , ink, dyes, glitter, gun powder traces, condom trace evidence, footwear impressions, toolmark impressions, surveillance videos, glass particles, and dirt. - Discusses applications such as mass spectrometry, image analysis, desorption-ionization on silicon mass spectrometry (DIOS-MS), ELISA characterization, and statistical validation.
