X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis: Useful For Forensic Examination

Various kinds of forensic evidential samples have been controlled by criminal laws and could not be destroyed carelessly, even if any analytical examinations should be needed on the samples, while those samples should be examined rapidly on the basis of the human rights of the concerned suspects or victims. Those evidential samples have been observed and have been examined by many forensic experts [1]. Such samples have thus needed to be analyzed for elemental composition, in turn leads to the investigating agency to know the type and origin of the clue material to reach the criminal or victim. X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy is a non-destructive technique of analysis widely used in forensic science for the identification of elements in pigments, metal alloys, and other materials of evidential clues recovered from the scenes of crime [2,3].
