New genetic markers have been produced as a result of recent research and they have the potential to address some significant shortcomings in DNA profiling techniques. In addition, several developments allow new kinds of relevant information to be obtained from biological samples. These include new molecular techniques for locating individuals that investigators were previously unaware of, and novel molecular approaches to support connections between criminal acts and sample donors. Such advancements in genomics, genetics and molecular biology are expected to enhance human forensic casework in the coming years. Advancements in technology have helped scientists create DNA fingerprints with smaller samples of DNA, therefore a suspect can be identified from a small amount of blood sample.

Next-generation Sequencing (NGS) offers results quickly and at a lower cost than other conventional techniques. Accordingly, to improve DNA testing accuracy, the number of regions used in STR analysis increased from 13 to 20 in 2017. In February 2022, researchers from the University of Washington along with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security used DNA testing of ivory shipments confiscated by law enforcement to identify the global criminal groups involved in ivory smuggling out of Africa. The kits & consumables product segment captured the highest revenue share in 2021 due to the high public & private investments in the development of DNA forensics.

The consumables include centrifuge tubes, cotton swabs, and filter baskets among others. The capillary electrophoresis method segment dominated the industry in 2021. Capillary electrophoresis is a fully automated technique used for detecting and separating Short Tandem Repeat (STR) alleles in genomic laboratories. Criminal testing was the largest application segment in 2021 owing to the increasing use of molecular testing technology for criminal investigation. North America dominated the global industry in 2021 due to various technological developments in the forensic sciences and growing investigation consent for forensic processes, such as biometric analysis methods and DNA profiling.

"Biometrics in Action: Advancing Human Identification Technologies"

Human identification is a crucial aspect of forensic science and biometrics, encompassing various methods and technologies used to establish the identity of individuals.

From DNA analysis to fingerprinting and facial recognition, these techniques play a vital role in criminal investigations, disaster victim identification, and border security. DNA profiling, in particular, has revolutionized human identification, offering unparalleled accuracy and reliability in linking individuals to biological samples found at crime scenes. Rapid advancements in DNA sequencing technologies have made it possible to generate profiles from even minute traces of biological material, expanding the scope and utility of forensic DNA analysis. Similarly, fingerprint identification remains a cornerstone of forensic science, with automated fingerprint recognition systems enabling rapid and accurate comparisons of fingerprint patterns. Facial recognition technology, powered by artificial intelligence, has emerged as a powerful tool for identifying individuals in surveillance footage and public spaces. Biometric identifiers such as iris scans and voice recognition further enhance the accuracy and efficiency of human identification systems. As technology continues to evolve, the integration of multiple biometric modalities and data analytics algorithms promises to further enhance the capabilities of human identification, contributing to public safety and security on a global scale.

Question- what is RFID technique? Answer- RFID Technology in Forensic Evidence Management RFID technology is widely used in manufacturing and other industries as a method of tracking and managing inventories. Now, a new NIST report, “RFID Technology in Forensic Evidence Management: An Assessment of Barriers, Benefits, and Costs,” examines how RFID technology might be of use to law enforcement agencies for the management of forensic evidence. "RFID, a technology that provides enhanced capabilities including precise location, environmental measurements, and automatic real-time updates of the position and condition of assets in an inventory”. -------------------------------- #forensicfield #forensicbiology #forensicintro #forensicstudy #forensicscientist #forensiclab #rfid #RFID #forensic #forensics #rigormortis #criminalistic #criminology #crimescene #crimesceneinvestigation #forensicscientist #forensicinvestigation #forensicmedicine #Radiofrequency #forensictechnology #forensictechniques #forensictechnic https://www.instagram.com/p/B6cqEehJyo1/?igshid=7bz1gd6wl2un

CO-OP ATM’S “SPLASH THE CASH” IN FORENSIC FIRST TO CUT CRIME

Splashing the cash, and criminals, could cut ATM crime in communities as the Co-op teams-up with award-winning forensic technology company SmartWater to roll-out a ground-breaking new deterrent linking criminals back to the scene of a crime. In a first of its kind, SmartWater have adapted their dispersal technology to ensure that both the criminals and the stolen cash are marked, regardless of how the ATM is attacked - precise details are being kept under wraps for security reasons. Starting in the South West and Wales, SmartWater systems will be installed at hundreds of cash dispensers located at the community retailer’s food stores this month (October), with a unique forensic signature at each ATM increasing the risk to criminals of being tracked and traced by Police following a theft, and helping to secure a conviction. Invisible to the naked eye, an amount of the gel the size of a speck of dust can provide the “solution” for scientists to undertake a successful analysis and help Police with identification, with the forensic signature guaranteed to last five years. Chris Whitfield, Co-op’s Director of Retail and Logistics, said: “The technology is at the forefront of combating ATM crime which not only impacts on retailers but can affect communities and customers too. Teaming-up with SmartWater, whose proprietary technology has a proven track record in being a powerful deterrent, will utilise the latest ATM capabilities and innovations to benefit local communities and potentially reduce crime.” Phil Cleary, CEO and Co-Founder of SmartWater said ‘This technical development represents a serious upgrade in the security of ATM’s as SmartWater products have helped convict hundreds of criminals world-wide and retains a 100% track record in Court. Simply, the ATM’s protected by SmartWater now represent too high a risk for criminals and the more professional will give them a wide berth’. Read the full article

Question- Who has developed the Marsh Test? Answer-  It was developed by the chemist James Marsh and first published in 1836. Question- Why is it used? Answer- Marsh test is a method for the detection of arsenic , so sensitive that it can be used to detect minute amounts of arsenic in foods (the residue of fruit spray) or in stomach contents. Question- What is the procedure for Marsh Test? Answer- First, add some zinc to the test tube. Then, the arsenic compound, and in this case, it's arsenious acid = As(OH)3. Then, place a stopper with a dripping funnel filled with hydrochloric acid onto the test tube. The reaction of zinc with the hydrochloric acid sets produces nascent hydrogen, which reacts with the arsenic compound to form arsine. The arsine bubbles through the hydrogen to the glass pipette. This arsine/hydrogen mixture is very flammable. Ignite it at the end of the pipette, which causes pure arsenic to be condensed out of the flame. Sensitivity- The lowest level of detection for this test is 1µg. --------------------------- #forensicfield #forensicbiology #forensicintro #forensicstudy #forensicscientist #forensiclab #forensic #forensics  #rigormortis #criminalistic #criminology #crimescene #crimesceneinvestigation #forensicscientist #forensicinvestigation #forensicmedicine #forensictechnology #forensictechniques #forensictechnic #bloodyprint #pathology #pathologist #deadtales #deadtalk #forensicpathology #Postmorteminterval #evidence #evidences #crimesceneevidence #arsenic #marshtest https://www.instagram.com/p/B60GS3Kpnkm/?igshid=lvqr8imc1461
