Forensic Science Forensic Applications of High Performance Liquid Chromatography Shirley Bayne Teesside University, Middlesbrough, UK

Michelle Carlin The University of Northumbria, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK

“ … easy to read and lively enough to engage students and keep their interest.”

—C. F. Poole, Wayne State University, in Chromatographia

Chromatography has many roles in forensic science, ranging from toxicology to environmental analysis. In particular, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a primary method of analysis in many types of laboratories. Maintaining a balance between practical solutions and the theoretical considerations involved in HPLC analysis, Forensic Applications of High Performance Liquid Chromatography uses real-life examples likely to be found within a forensic science laboratory to explain HPLC from a forensic science perspective.

Forensic Applications of Gas Chromatography Michelle Groves Carlin and John Richard Dean The University of Northumbria, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK

Forensic Applications of Gas Chromatography covers the essentials of this topic, including the theory, method development, quality assurance and validation, troubleshooting, and new developments in the field. The emphasis is on the application of GC in a range of relevant forensic applications, including those related to drugs, toxicology, food and flavors, fire, paint, the environment, and explosives.

Individual case studies of applications are focused on specific sample preparation techniques. Each sample preparation technique is discussed with respect to its theory, instrumentation, solvent selection, and function. Techniques include solid phase extraction, solid phase microextraction, solvent extraction, purge and trap, thermal desorption, and pyrolysis.

Encouraging classroom discussion and debate, the book presents real-life situations faced by those within public service. News stories are incorporated throughout the text as well as a list of websites to facilitate further study.

Each chapter begins with learning objectives and key terms and includes Ripped from the Headlines current event examples that demonstrate actual scenarios involving the issues discussed within the chapter.
