Forensic chemistry is about the analysis of non-biological trace evidence found at crime scenes in order to identify unknown materials and match samples to known substances.
It uses criminalistics, the qualitative examination of evidence using microscopy
and spot testing, and analytical toxicology that looks for evidence in body fluids
through a range of instrumental techniques from optical methods to separations
analyses.
