Forensic spectroscopy encompasses a suite of analytical techniques designed to identify unknown substances and quantify trace elements with extreme precision and speed. In this interview, Dr. Tom Spudich, Professor of Analytical Chemistry, explores how advanced tools like UV-Vis spectroscopy, GC-MS, FTIR with ATR, and ICP-OES are transforming forensic science workflows.
Discover how these methods are instrumental in diverse applications, from preserving historic documents through elemental analysis to detecting beverage adulterants like 1,4-butanediol. Learn how Shimadzu’s high-sensitivity instrumentation is slashing analysis times from hours to just 15 minutes, significantly boosting sample throughput and accessibility in the field.
