“…A number of producers of GC-MS equipment have put effort in miniaturization for on-site analysis of (semi-)volatiles. Transportable or hand-held systems are developed to aid homeland security at the airport, in military operations and in environmental pollution control [35][36][37]. The developments led to commercially available analytical equipment that moved out of the forensic laboratory to places where less technical users need them.…”

In this paper, the importance of modern technology in forensic investigations is discussed. Recent technological developments are creating new possibilities to perform robust scientific measurements and studies outside the controlled laboratory environment. The benefits of real-time, on-site forensic investigations are manifold and such technology has the potential to strongly increase the speed and efficacy of the criminal justice system. However, such benefits are only realized when quality can be guaranteed at all times and findings can be used as forensic evidence in court. At the Netherlands Forensic Institute, innovation efforts are currently undertaken to develop integrated forensic platform solutions that allow for the forensic investigation of human biological traces, the chemical identification of illicit drugs and the study of large amounts of digital evidence. These platforms enable field investigations, yield robust and validated evidence and allow for forensic intelligence and targeted use of expert capacity at the forensic institutes. This technological revolution in forensic science could ultimately lead to a paradigm shift in which a new role of the forensic expert emerges as developer and custodian of integrated forensic platforms.

“…They are then transferred to and separated by a GC column, passed through a membrane maintained at 80ºC, and into the MS detector while the inorganic gases (e.g. nitrogen and oxygen) are discarded (Sekiguchi et al 2006). The detector is a quadrupole MS and is operated under vacuum provided by a Non-Evaporative Getter (NEG) and an ion sputter pump (Smith 2012).…”

“…Especially at public places like airports, railway, or coach stations efficient detection systems are needed. Usual methods at airport security checks are wiping carryon baggage/laptop computers, and so forth to collect samples which are analyzed subsequently [51] by; for example (a) gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS); (b) gas chromatography chemo luminescence (GC-CL); (c) ion mobility spectrometers (IMS).…”

Infrared science and technology has been, since the first applications, mainly dedicated to security and surveillance especially in military field, besides specialized techniques in thermal imaging for medical diagnostic and building structures and recently in energy savings and aerospace context. Till recently the security applications were mainly based on thermal imaging as surveillance and warning military systems. In all these applications the advent of room temperature, more reliable due to the coolers avoidance, low cost, and, overall, completely integrable with Silicon technology FPAs, especially designed and tailored for specific applications, smart sensors, has really been impacted with revolutionary and new ideas and system concepts in all the infrared fields, especially for security applications. Lastly, the advent of reliable Infrared Solid State Laser Sources, operating up to the Long Infrared Wavelength Band and the new emerging techniques in Far Infrared Submillimeter Terahertz Bands, has opened wide and new areas for developing new, advanced security systems. A review of all the items with evidence of the weak and the strong points of each item, especially considering possible future developments, will be reported and discussed.
