Abstract

The career of Chemical Engineering presents among the areas studied several analytical techniques in common within the laboratory field with the field of Criminalistics, these techniques are used for the detection of foreign components within samples of biological and non-biological origin that alter the behavior of an individual or end with the death of the same, the results are analyzed by comparison with established patterns that allow to give a reliable interpretation to be presented to a judge. The objective of this study is to collect information to determine the areas within the criminalistic and forensic field where a chemical engineer can be of support, taking advantage of his knowledge in the different analytical techniques and helping in the interpretation of the results of these, thus allowing to contribute to the legal procedures that are carried out in the cases presented before the law.
