Forensic chemistry
Led by Court Sandau, PhD, co-founder and Chief Science Officer
Generic guidelines often overstate risk, and mixed sources are hard to untangle. Chemical fingerprinting separates sources from background and from each other, and builds the evidence for a site-specific, risk-based approach. Court is also the founder of Chemistry Matters, a forensic chemistry consultancy that works on technically contested and litigious matters.
