A systematic approach to improve downstream single‐cell analysis for the DEPArray™...
Most commercially available STR amplification kits have never been fully validated for low template DNA analysis, highlighting the need for testing different PCR kits and conditions for improving single‐cell profiling. Here, current strategies rely mainly on adjusting PCR cycle n...
Pressure sensitive adhesives and paper spray‐mass spectrometry for the collection and...
The rise of fentanyl and fentanyl analogs in the drug supply pose serious threats to public health. Much of these compounds enter the United States through shipping routes. Here we provide a method for fentanyl screening and analysis that utilizes pressure‐sensitive adhesive (PSA...
The impact of lipid degradation on fingerprint quality on fired firearm cartridges
The recovery of identifiable fingerprints from fired cartridge cases is challenging. Therefore, the characterization of chemical modifications and their effects on fingerprint integrity post‐firing is essential. In this study, the primary fingerprint lipids, including myristic ac...
The effect of household corrosive substances on latent fingermark development in the...
Corrosive substance attacks (CSA) are a prevalent issue in the UK with 525 offenses involving a corrosive substance reported to the police in the year ending March 2022. Easy availability, low cost, and concealability in public are common reasons for choosing a corrosive substanc...
Capturing high‐resolution digital images for use in forensic document examination

The impact of fentanyl on DUIDs and traffic fatalities: Blood and oral fluid data
Fentanyl has emerged as the most prolific drug in the ongoing opioid epidemic and has greatly impacted traffic safety in recent years. This study aimed to evaluate fentanyl prevalence and concentrations in blood and oral fluid in driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) cases ...
Evaluation of portable gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) for the analysis of...
Potent synthetic opioids including fentanyl and its analogs are frequently encountered in the field and require detection and identification by first responders to maintain the safety of drug abusers, first responders, health‐care providers, and the public at large. Due to the lo...
A novel method for sorting and reassociating commingled human remains using deviation...
This study provides an innovative and novel method for sorting commingled human remains at the sacroiliac joint using deviation analyses. Virtual models were created at the University of Tennessee‐Knoxville Donated Skeletal Collection from 69 os coxae and 66 sacra using an EinSca...
