Analytical Techniques in Forensic Research

Forensic science is defined as the use of science to answer questions that are majorly related to the field of interest to a legal system. In the current scenario a common person is far more familiar with forensic science majorly due to the promotion through many popular televisions series, books and films where the mysterious cases are analysed and the way the clues usually discovered by the scientists through laboratory techniques.

Finger printing, analysis of DNA, recognition of voice, analysis of hand writing, ballistics, autopsy etc. is forensic methods to detect a reason for crime or death. Most important areas of materials science, physical science and life science are used in forensic analytical techniques. Some hidden metals and chemicals are traced by the techniques such as chromatography will be used as forensic analytical technique. The age of an unknown human body will be even estimated through some forensic analytical techniques. In some forensic analytical techniques, data will be analysed using digital forensics.
