Development of solvent‐mediated tape separation technology for fingerprint restoration and...
Adhesive tapes recovered from crime scenes frequently function as dual‐purpose forensic substrates, simultaneously bearing latent fingermarks and touch DNA, yet their removal from porous surfaces often results in ridge distortion and loss of biological material. This study evalua...
Forensically significant microbial community responses to aboveground cadaver...
During vertebrate decomposition, a purge of nutrient‐rich fluids enters the surrounding soil producing a localized nutrient hotspot. The composition of microbial communities at the soil surface is known to predictably change in response to this influx of decomposition fluids over...
Predictive modeling of post‐blast TNT residue recovery using semi‐quantitative LC–MS/MS...
Post‐blast explosive residue analysis is crucial for forensic investigations, yet evidentiary value is often limited by sampling efficiency rather than instrumental sensitivity. This study investigated the recovery behavior of 2,4,6‐trinitrotoluene (TNT) under field‐realistic det...

The detection of latent fingermarks on semi‐porous substrates with UV‐C and the full...
The use of UV‐C imaging for the detection of latent fingermarks has been reported since the 1970s; however, widespread adoption has been limited due to health and safety concerns as well as its possible detrimental effects on DNA evidence. Semi‐porous substrates may not be suitab...
