Forensic chemistry is the application of chemistry and its
subfield, forensic toxicology, in a legal setting. A forensic chemist can
assist in the identification of unknown materials found at a crime scene. Specialists in this field have a wide array of methods and instruments to help
identify unknown substances. These include high-performance liquid
chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, atomic absorption
spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thin layer
chromatography. The range of different methods is important due to the
destructive nature of some instruments and the number of possible unknown
substances that can be found at a scene. Forensic chemists prefer using
nondestructive methods first, to preserve evidence and to determine which
destructive methods will produce the best results.
