Abstract
Analysis of body fluids is an important aspect of forensic investigation; therefore, rapid and sensitive detection is required for their analysis as well as characterization. This chapter presents an overview of the applications of different nanomaterials with respect to the biological material detection. If we talk about forensic biological samples, we especially need to handle them with care, because such samples from crime scenes are always in traces. This chapter briefly discusses the use of functional nanoparticles for the detection of biological materials. Genetic material obtained from crime scenes is one of the most important pieces of evidence in forensic investigations, and the chapter focuses on the application of functional nanomaterials for their detection.
