Article Synopsis
  • Understanding how different types of trace evidence move and remain on surfaces is crucial for legal cases and hypothesis testing.
  • The goal is to create a unified and scalable method for studying these transfers efficiently and cost-effectively.
  • This study suggests a universal experimental protocol and offers tools for an open-access database to support researchers and professionals in this field.

This is the second paper on the development and implementation of a universal experimental protocol for transfer and persistence of trace evidence. Here, we present the results of five individual researchers who implemented the universal experimental protocol for the first time. Over 2500 images were collected, computationally analysed and statistically compared.

A method for the quantitative analysis of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, the main active ingredient of cannabis) in whole blood using solid phase extraction and LC/MS/MS has been developed. A bottom-up approach with method validation data was used to evaluate and estimate the measurement uncertainty (MU) of the analytical method. The sources of uncertainty were identified using a cause and effect diagram.
