A propos de cet article

Neuware - Mass spectrometry is one of the most versatile analytical techniques due to the vast range of analytes that it can detect and quantify and, as such, for its contribution to a significant number of life science fields. The legal and forensics community has certainly benefited from this technique, which has been able to provide reliable evidence in court cases. Liquid Chromatography/Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC/GC-MS) still have a dominant role in the provision of forensic intelligence. However, in the past decade new and exciting MS-based techniques have emerged and are or have evolved to be at an operational deployment maturity, enabling either fast, ambient, non-destructive, or portable screening (or encompass all of these features).

À propos de l?auteur

Simona Francese has been Professor of Forensic and Bioanalytical Mass Spectrometry at Sheffield Hallam University since 2018. She was appointed as a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University in 2008 following a post doc at the University of Leeds in 2005 and post as Research Fellow at the Interdepartmental Centre of Mass Spectrometry, University of Florence, Italy (2005-2008). She teaches separation and detection techniques, analytical science and bioanalytical methods and is internationally recognised as a researcher in the area of Forensic and Bioanalytical Mass Spectrometry working closely with DSTL and West Yorkshire Police UK. She is also the deputy Head of the Centre for Mass Spectrometry Imaging and the Head of the Bioanalytical Research Group since 2020.

Dr Steve Bleay has been a Senior Lecturer in Forensic Science in the School of Applied Sciences at London South Bank University since January 2019. He specialises in fingermark enhancement and imaging, with interests in the interactions between trace evidence, the surface it is deposited on and the environment it is exposed to. Dr Bleay graduated in Materials Science from the University of Bath in 1988, obtaining a PhD from the same department in 1991. After 10 years working on stealth materials for the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency, he moved to the Home Office in 2003 and spent 15 years working on fingermark visualisation processes. He is one of the authors of the internationally recognised Home Office Fingermark Visualisation Manual and has over 50 publications in Forensic Science journals.
