Forensic Applications in Pharmaceutical Particulate Testing
The main goals in forensic investigation are to first identify the questioned material of interest, and second, compare this particulate to known sample sources to determine possible origins of the unknown sample. In addition, the forensic scientist must understand the significance of various sample types and communicate that information in layman's terms so investigative teams can focus an investigation. This type of contamination identification and tracking is valuable to demonstrate efforts pharmaceutical companies make to identify contaminants and take corrective action as required by the FDA. This approach is also beneficial when validating new process methods and eliminating particulate contamination in manufacturing and packaging process.
