Single-use Sensor Strips for Reliable Field Analysis of Gunshot Residues
Abstract
This project will investigate the ability to immediately identify individuals that fired a weapon in a battlefield environment using electrochemical stripping voltammetry. This technique is currently used by the medical community for blood testing and will be adapted for a battlefield forensic application. Improved gunshot residue detection techniques will enable more confidence in the identification of malign agents, and reduce the number of inconclusive results encountered with existing gunshot residue tests.
