Electrochemical eyes: exploring forensic mysteries with electrochemical sensor technologies
Year: 2024
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: Electrochemistry, a vast scientific discipline, finds application across numerous fields and has the potential to surpass traditional analytical methods. Surprisingly, one area that may not immediately come to mind for electrochemical application is forensic science. Forensic science encompasses various subfields, including the detection of illicit drugs, crime scene investigation, and DNA evidence analysis. This chapter delves into the fascinating world of forensic science, where electrochemical sensor technologies serve as invaluable tools in unraveling mysteries. From analyzing crime scene evidence to detecting trace amounts of substances, these sensors offer a unique perspective, akin to “electrochemical eyes,” enabling investigators to uncover crucial clues and piece together intricate puzzles. Through case studies and innovative applications, this chapter highlights the pivotal role of electrochemical sensors in forensic investigations, shedding light on hidden truths and bringing justice to the forefront.
