ForensicScience Forensicchemistry is the Applied science application of chemistry to law enforcement or the failure of products or processes. Many different analytical methods may be used to reveal what chemical changes occurred during an incident, and so help reconstruct the sequence of events. Forensicchemistry is unique among chemical sciences in that its research, practice, and presentation must meet the needs of both the scientific and the legal communities. As such, forensicchemistry research is applied and derivative by nature and design, and it emphasizes metrology and validation. ref name Bell2009 cite journal journal Annual Review of Analytical Chemistry year 2009 pages 297 319 issue 1 volume 2 title ForensicChemistry pmid 20636064 author Bell S doi 10.1146 annurev anchem 060908 155251 url http arjournals.annualreviews.org doi abs 10.1146 annurev anchem 060908 155251 ref Methods One particularly useful method for the simultaneous separation, identification, and quantitation of one or more individual components of an unknown substance or mixture is the use of a gas chromatography mass spectrometry gas chromatograph mass spectrometer GC MS .

Examples of instruments and equipment used in forensic metrology include breathalyzer s, balances & Weighing scale scales , ruler s, caliper s, Gas chromotographer s, and centrifuge s.

ForensicScience Forensic toxicology is the use of toxicology and other disciplines such as analytical chemistry , pharmacology and clinical chemistry to aid medical or legal investigation of death, poisoning, and drug use. The primary concern for forensic toxicology is not the legal outcome of the toxicological investigation or the technology utilised, but rather the obtaining and interpreting of the results. A toxicological analysis can be done to various kinds of samples. A forensic toxicologist must consider the context of an investigation, in particular any physical symptoms recorded, and any evidence collected at a crime scene that may narrow the search, such as pill bottles, powders, trace residue, and any available chemicals. Provided with this information and samples with which to work, the forensic toxicologist must determine which toxic substances are present, in what concentrations, and the probable effect of those chemicals on the person. Determining the substance ingested is often complicated by the body s natural processes see ADME , as it is rare for a chemical to remain in its original form once in the body. For example heroin is almost immediately metabolism metabolised into another substance and further to morphine , making detailed investigation into factors such as injection marks and chemical purity necessary to confirm diagnosis.
