Forensic fingerprinting

Fingerprint analysis has been a standard method for forensic analysis and is used to identify suspects at the scene of a crime. Recent advances in next-generation DNA sequencing technology have revolutionized the criminal justice system and has downgraded the importance of fingerprint analysis. However, the positioning of DNA material can be circumstantial in some cases and this is where recent advances in analytical chemistry instrumentation can enhance the power of fingerprint analysis.
