4. Identification of forensic samples via mitochondrial DNA in the undergraduate biochemistry laboratory

Author

Millard, Julie T. and Pilon, Andre M.

Subjects
DNA testing -- Research, Forensic sciences -- Research, Mitochondrial DNA -- Research, Chemistry -- Study and teaching, Chemistry, Education, Science and technology
Abstract

The authors note the increasing importance of DNA evidence to determine guilt or innocence in the criminal justice system. They offer an exercise in mitochondrial DNA sequencing to identifying human remains, such as those of the imperial Russian Romanov family.

5. Analysis of carbon monoxide in blood

Author

Huddle, Benjamin P. and Stephens, Joseph C.

Subjects
Blood -- Analysis, Forensic sciences -- Research, Carbon monoxide -- Analysis, Chemistry -- Study and teaching, Chemistry, Education, Science and technology
Abstract

The authors demonstrate how proper forensic analysis of carbon monoxide levels in blood can determine whether a victim died by accident, homicide, or suicide. The Conway diffusion method is described, including quantitative and qualitative analysis, and chemical concepts such as visible spectroscopy and diffusion are discussed.

6. Was the suspect in contact with the victim? An instrumental methods experiment for the analysis of single fibers using FT-IR microscopy

Author

Bender, Sharin and Lillard, Sheri J.

Subjects
Infrared spectroscopy -- Usage, Fibers -- Research, Chemistry -- Study and teaching, Forensic sciences -- Research, Chemistry, Education, Science and technology
Abstract

The authors describe a forensic research classroom exercise using infrared spectroscopy to examine single fibers to determine whether contact between a suspect and a victim can be established beyond a reasonable doubt. The need for proper analytical technique, the ways instrumental analysis is used in judiciary relations, and possible applications to employment options are discussed.
