About this Research Topic
We will describe the analytical progress, especially in terms of sensitivity, which is constantly seeked by several research groups. Furthermore, we will investigate the applications in field of new analytical techniques, with a special attention to mass spectrometry. Finally, we will explore the importance of developing sophisticated chemometric tools, which can prove highly effective and provide targeted information for the crime solving.
