Ink Analysis
Our ink analysis services include determining the age or origin of an ink sample through various methods such as thin-layer chromatography (TLC) or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). We also analyze writing instruments such as pens or markers used on documents for comparison purposes.
Paper Analysis
We offer comprehensive paper analysis services including determining the type of paper used on a document through microscopic examination or chemical testing methods like Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR). Our experts can also determine whether two documents were written using similar papers by comparing their physical properties under magnification.
Trace Evidence
Our trace evidence examination services include the analysis of various materials such as fibers, hair, glass, and soil. We use advanced techniques such as polarized light microscopy (PLM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to identify and compare trace evidence samples.
