Forensic Applications of Gas Chromatography

By John Richard Dean and Michelle Carlin

Several areas of forensic science use the technique of gas chromatography, ranging from fire analysis to the investigation of fraudulent food and perfumes. Covering the essentials of this powerful analytical technique, this volume explains the theory and shows applications of this knowledge to various realms of forensic science. The book includes examples of applications in drugs, toxicology, fire, paint, food, and fragrance. Each application is presented as an individual case study with specific focus on a particular sample preparation technique. This allows each technique to be discussed with respect to its theory, instrumentation, solvent selection, and function, as appropriate.
