ABSTRACT
There are several reasons the detection of organic constituents of FDR was worthy of investigation. The particle analysis method is tedious and the speed of analysis is very slow, thereby often not meeting all the needs of the police, who frequently require a fast answer at an early stage in an investigation. The detection of organics is much faster, particularly for multisuspect cases involving a large number of samples, and it was hoped that the time problem could be partly solved by screening for organics prior to inorganic examination, enabling preliminary results to be available for the police investigation.
