Analysis of questioned documents: A review

During the last years (2000–2014), many publications concerning the forensic analysis of questioned documents have been published, and new techniques and methodologies are nowadays employed to overcome forensic caseworks. This article reviews a comprehensive collection of the works focused on this issue, including dating studies, the analysis of inks from pens and printers, the analysis of paper, the analysis of other samples related to questioned documents and studies on intersecting lines. These sections highlight the most relevant analytical studies by a wide range of analytical techniques. Separation and spectrometric techniques are critically discussed and compared, emphasizing the advantages and disadvantages of each one. Finally, concluding remarks on the research published are included.     

GC–MS method for the determination of paraben preservatives in the human breast cancerous tissue

The general presumption that the preservative laden personal care products may be one of the causative agents for breast cancer, has remained a matter of controversy during this decade. Extensive studies have not been carried out to either prove or disprove the role of preservatives in breast cancer incidences. In this study we have developed a new method for the identification and quantification of the preservatives such as methyl paraben (MeP), ethyl paraben (EtP), propyl paraben (PrP) and butyl paraben (BuP) in breast tissue using Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS). Tissue was extracted by using acetone:n-hexane mixture (1:1 v/v) and derivatized with N-Methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide (MSTFA). The extent of reaction time and the amount of MSTFA to attain greater derivatization were optimized. The developed method yielded good recovery (mean ± SD) of 99.8 ± 5.1, 96 ± 4.4, 107 ± 17 and 113 ± 13% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 5.1, 4.6, 15.6 and 13%, and the limits of detection (LOD) of 2.02, 1.05, 1.71 and 3.75 ng g^{− 1} for MeP, EtP, PrP and BuP, respectively. The method was successfully validated for the determination of parabens including butyl paraben (log K_ow = 3.57) in cancerous breast tissues; this could be a promising one for screening of breast tissues and also the environment for paraben residues. As far as our knowledge goes this is the first GC–MS method for the determination of parabens in human tissue.     

Elucidation of the structure of drug degradation products by on-line coupled reversed phase HPLC-GC-MS and on-line derivatization

Degradation products obtained under severe alkaline stress of the drug substance ENA 713, a compound developed for the treatment of DAT (dementia of the Alzheimer type), have been identified by on-line coupled reversed phase HPLC-GC-MS as 3-hydroxyaceto-phenone and 3-hydroxystyrene. Their structures were proven by mass spectroscopic investigation of the products obtained by on-column derivatization during LC-GC transfer. On-column trimethyl-silylation and bromination of the degradation products during the transfer were achieved by the introduction of the reagent via the loop-type interface. The usefulness of the technique was further demonstrated by the on-column methylation of carboxylic acids with diazomethane solution (using naproxen as model compound). First results are also given of the use of the liquid-liquid extraction unit of the LC-GC interface for extractive derivatization during reversed phase HPLC-GC-MS transfer.     

Determination of oxygenated compounds in secondary organic aerosol from isoprene and toluene smog chamber experiments

The determination of multifunctional oxygenated compounds in secondary organic aerosols (SOA) usually requires a derivatisation protocol prior to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis (GC-MS). Our proposed protocol, a combination of O-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl) hydroxylamine (PFBHA) plus diluted N-methyl-N-trimethyl-silyltrifluoroacetamide (MSTFA) without catalyst, has improved the determination of carbonyls, polyhydroxyl-compounds, hydroxyl-carbonyls, hydroxyl-carboxylic acids and di-carboxylic acids. The optimised derivatisation protocol has been successfully used for blanks, standard mixtures and photo-oxidation products from isoprene and toluene generated in a high-volume simulation chamber (European Photoreactor, EUPHORE).

Some previously identified degradation products for isoprene including tetrols such as threitol, erythritol; 2-methyltetrols and 2-methylglyceric acid; and for toluene including nitrophenols, methyl-nitrophenols, benzaldehyde, p-cresol, benzoic acid, glyoxylic acid and methyl-glyoxylic acid, have been identified in our aerosol samples, thus confirming the successful applicability of the proposed derivatisation protocol. Moreover, the reduction of artefacts and enhanced signal-to-noise ratio, have allowed us to extend the number of multifunctional compounds determined. These findings have demonstrated the validity of this analytical strategy, which will contribute to a better understanding of the atmospheric degradation chemistry of biogenic and anthropogenic pollutants.
