Forensic chemistry is a field of chemistry dedicated to the chemical analysis of matter that may have been used in a crime.
1) CSI Lab: Mystery Powders
Forensic chemists examine fluids and other matter found at a crime scene or in/on the bodies of suspects and victims. They must be familiar with the physical and chemical properties of matter, as well as various technologies used to examine and analyze matter, such as: ultraviolet light, infrared, x-ray, microscopes, chromatography and DNA analysis. They also examine matter using: odor, texture, solubility, flammability and malleability. Their findings are often used in police investigations and court cases to find those guilty or innocent of a crime.
