Forensics Science
Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy are among the most widely used techniques for criminal investigation.
The successful investigation and prosecution of crimes requires; the collection, preservation, and forensic analysis of evidence. Forensic analysis of evidence is important to demonstrate guilt or innocence. From investigation of fraud to more serious crimes such as murder; Bruker Optics offers state of the art spectroscopy systems to help forensic scientists.
Infrared and Raman spectroscopy is a widely used technique in Forensics Science, which provides fast, accurate and reliable sample analysis to help investigations by narrowing search and identifying evidences. Infrared and Raman microscopy can be used for small samples in non-destructive analysis. Spectral libraries can help identify the materials analyzed or distinguish the match between materials.
Bruker Optics offers a full range of sample analysis products to meet even the most demanding forensic applications. The TENSOR™ 27 is a rugged low-cost infrared spectrometer for the routine forensic sample analysis. Automatic accessory recognition of Bruker's integrated and dedicated accessories make the analysis quick and easy. Full diagnostic monitoring of the spectrometer ensures that the highest level of instrument functionality is maintained. For samples less than 1 mm in size, Bruker Optics has infrared and Raman microanalysis products from the low cost and portable HELIOS™ to the full imaging capabilities of the HYPERION™ 3000.
Samples down to 5 µm can be analyzed directly and non-destructively with 1064 nm excitation with the RAMANSCOPE FT-Raman microscope. Since the actual measurement is performed in the NIR region, FT-Raman microscopy provides better spatial resolution limits than FT-IR microscopy. In addition, FT-Raman is an excellent choice when analyzing samples with color such as fibers or paint. Bruker Optics now offers an 'affordable' dispersive Raman microscope, SENTERRA, suitable for forensic applications.
In addition, Bruker Optics offers comprehensive reference libraries for quick and accurate identification of unknown substances.
