Mass Spectrometry in Forensic Science: Solving Crimes at the Molecular Level

Abstract

Rodriguez Martin

Mass Spectrometry (MS) has become a cornerstone technology in forensic science, revolutionizing the way investigators analyze and interpret crime scene evidence. This powerful analytical technique allows forensic scientists to examine substances at the molecular level, providing crucial information for solving crimes and supporting legal proceedings. Here, we delve into the applications, benefits and challenges associated with mass spectrometry in forensic science. Forensic science plays a crucial role in criminal investigations, providing valuable insights that can lead to the identification and prosecution of perpetrators. In recent years, the field has witnessed significant advancements, with mass spectrometry emerging as a powerful tool for analyzing crime scene evidence at the molecular level. Mass spectrometry enables forensic scientists to unravel complex mysteries by examining the unique chemical fingerprints of substances, offering unprecedented accuracy and specificity in criminal investigations.
