Abstract

Vibrational spectroscopy is a powerful analytical domain, within which Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy stand as exemplars, offering high chemical specificity and sensitivity. These methodologies have been instrumental in the characterization of chemical compounds for an extensive period. They are particularly adept at the identification and analysis of minute sample quantities. Both FTIR and Raman spectroscopy are proficient in elucidating small liquid samples and detecting nuanced molecular alterations. The application of chemometrics further augments their analytical prowess. Currently, these techniques are in the research phase within forensic medicine and have yet to be broadly implemented in examination and identification processes. Nonetheless, studies have indicated that a combined classification model utilizing FTIR and Raman spectroscopy yields exceptional results for the identification of biological fluid-related information and the determination of causes of death. The objective of this review is to delineate the current research trajectory and potential applications of these two vibrational spectroscopic techniques in the detection of body fluids and the ascertainment of causes of death within the context of forensic medicine.
