Abstract

Glass is an important type of forensic evidence that is frequently encountered in crime scenes. The elemental analysis of glass, using sensitive techniques such as micro-X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF) and Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), has been shown to be a valuable tool for the discrimination of glass samples originating from different sources and the association of glass samples originating from the same source Although the forensic community has reached a consensus on the analytical protocol for the forensic examination of glass using XRF or LA-ICP-MS
