Forensic Chemistry of Dyes and Pigments – Training Services

Forensic Chemistry of Dyes and Pigments – Training Services provides specialized training on the chemical analysis and forensic investigation of dyes and pigments used in textiles, inks, paints, and other materials. The course covers the chemical composition, classification, and degradation behavior of natural and synthetic dyes and pigments. Participants will learn analytical techniques such as chromatography, spectroscopy (UV-Vis, FTIR, Raman), and mass spectrometry for accurate identification, comparison, and source determination. Emphasis is placed on evidence collection, contamination prevention, and maintaining chain-of-custody for legal admissibility. Case studies illustrate real-world applications in forensic document examination, art authentication, textile analysis, and crime scene investigations.
