Forensic Breakthrough: Chemical Extraction of Drug Residue from Fingerprints

Forensic scientists have developed a revolutionary technique for detecting drug and explosive residue on fingerprint samples. This technique utilizes a specialized chemical to extract drug particles, which were previously overlooked due to the use of gel lifters in fingerprint lifting. Gel lifters contaminate samples with chemicals, making it challenging to identify trace amounts of drugs or explosives.
