This review recounts recent developments in Raman spectroscopy with regards to forensic
science. Topics covered in this manuscript include: chemometrics, controlled substances …

For decades Raman spectroscopy has been used as a specialized tool in a variety of fields.
Forensic science is one discipline in particular that has greatly benefited from the application …

Chemical and structural analysis of archaeological bioapatite requires well-preserved
unaltered mineral. Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR …

Collagen is the main structural and most abundant protein in the human body, and it is
routinely extracted and analysed in scientific archaeology. Its degree of preservation is …

Bone collagen is an important material for radiocarbon, paleodietary, and paleoproteomic
analyses, but it degrades over time, making such analyses more difficult with older material …

Methodological and technological improvements are continually revolutionizing the field of
ancient DNA. Most ancient DNA extraction methods require the partial (or complete) …

Estimating postmortem intervals (PMI) is crucial in forensic investigations, providing insights
into criminal cases and determining the time of death. PMI estimation relies on expert …

Bone remains of small vertebrate fossils provide valuable information for
paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic reconstructions. However, direct radiocarbon dating …

Process-induced inadvertent phase change of an active pharmaceutical ingredient in a drug
product could impact chemical stability, physical stability, shelf life, and bioperformance. In …

In this study, we evaluate whether thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) can be used to estimate
the amounts of collagen and hydroxyapatite in archaeological bone accurately and rapidly …
