AAFS Meeting to Feature Innov-X XRF in Forensic Science / Press release from: Innov-X Systems, 5 Feb 2007

" X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) in forensic science applications can perform rapid elemental analysis and gain valuable information at the scene. In just seconds, materials may be identified and quantified. Investigators can now analyze evidence with the Innov-X Alpha Series™ portable X-ray Fluorescence analyzer without altering, damaging, or transporting evidence to a remote laboratory. They can check for gunshot residue, automotive paint tracers, methamphetamine or other “clan-lab” indicators, environmental markers, and much more. Using hand-held XRF, investigators can identify victims (even if decomposed, disarticulated, or incinerated) through restorative dental materials, such as resins, castings, crowns, posts, and precious metals*.
