The persistence of moisturizer products on human skin in relation to sexual assault investigations

Imogen Raynor et al.

Summary: This study found that petrolatum-based moisturizer persisted on human skin for 13.5 hours, while glycerol-based moisturizer persisted for 19.8 hours. Activities like exercising and bathing led to a decrease in moisturizer persistence, while skin cover was associated with an increase in moisturizer persistence. The study also developed a general sampling and extraction protocol for future work.

Chemometrics based ATR-FTIR spectroscopy method for rapid and non-destructive discrimination between eyeliner and mascara traces

Taniya Arora et al.

Summary: This paper reports the analysis of eye cosmetics using ATR-FTIR, with chemometric analysis utilizing PCA and PLS-DA for discrimination. Validation of the model shows 95% accuracy, with sensitivity and specificity at 90% and 100% respectively, making it suitable for forensic casework. The discrimination of eyeliners and mascaras is based on differences in peak patterns, intensities, and specific frequencies in the fingerprint region, showing the method to be quick, non-destructive, robust, and cost-effective.

Development of efficient SALDI substrate based on Au-TiO2 nanohybrids for environmental and forensic detection of dyes and NSAIDs

Mohamed O. Amin et al.

Summary: A matrix-free approach using Au-TiO2 nanohybrids and SALDI-MS was developed for comprehensive environmental and forensic analysis of dyes and NSAIDs, achieving sensitive detection with good reproducibility. The nanohybrids showed promise in terms of sensitivity, reproducibility, and LOD, making significant contributions to environmental and forensic identification.
