Event Overview:

Forensic casework presents special challenges to analytical chemists. Frequently, sample sizes are very limited, so great care must be taken in sample collection, handling, and analysis to minimize risks of sample loss and sample contamination, and to ensure that reliable results are obtained in a timely manner.

In this session, Dr. Leon Barron will discuss analytical methods he has developed at King’s College London, in collaboration with the London Metropolitan Police, to determine inorganic tracer species in forensic samples such as shell casings, latent fingerprints, and human sweat. He will talk about his use of traditional-scale and capillary scale IC, and explain the advantages associated with the use of capillary IC technology.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Understand the advantages that capillary IC provides for applications involving limited sample sizes
• Learn about techniques for handling small samples to minimize sample loss and prevent contamination
• Find out how ion chromatography can provide better solutions to problems that have traditionally been approached using better-known analytical techniques

Who Should Attend:

• Analytical chemists who work with small samples
• IC users who would like to learn more about real-world applications of Capillary IC
• Anyone with interest in modern IC method development for addressing real-world challenges
