Forensic Science and Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

Spectroscopic techniques are widely used in identification and routine analysis in the forensic science laboratory. Raman spectroscopy is an attractive technique that supplies full chemical fingerprint information. It can be used for identification and comparison of unknown substances that are often present at an incident scene. This application note demonstrates how Klarite SERS substrates can enable high sensitivity Raman tests to be done quickly and easily.
