SYLLABUS FOR THE POST OF SCIENTIFIC OFFICER - CHEMICAL SECTION IN
FORENSIC SCIENCE LABORATORIES (POLICE DEPARTMENT)
KARNATAKA STATE
1. Introduction, definition, principles, scope and branches of Forensic Science.
2. Crime Scene Investigation: Definition of crime scene, Classification of crime scenes indoor
& outdoor, primary & secondary, macroscopic & microscopic crime scenes, Significance of
crime scene and ethics of crime scene investigation.
3. Physical Evidence: Definition, Classification, Sources, Significance and value of physical
evidence. Linkage between crime scene, victim and criminal. Study of crime scenes relating
to Gas explosions, Fire and arson, homicide, suicide, murder, mass disaster (Bomb blasts,
Vehicle and Train accidents, Air-crash, Industrial accidents etc).
4. Chemical periodicity, main group of elements and their compounds, concept of acids and
bases, hard soft acid base concept, non aqueous solvents, organometallic compoundssynthesis,
bonding & structure and reactivity, characterization of inorganic compounds.
5. Qualitative analysis: Sample preparation, dissolution, digestion and fusion, Nature of trace
analysis, spot tests and spectroscopic methods. Screening tests commonly engaged in
chemical analysis of drugs samples.
6. Quantitative analysis: Volumetric and Gravimetric analysis.
7. Solvent extraction: Advantage and application, Derivation of the relation between the
percentage extraction and number of extraction, relation between distribution ratio and
distribution coefficient, quantitative treatment of neutral chelate in extraction systems, pH
extraction curve, masking agent, salting out technique, single extraction verses multiple
extractions, solid phase extraction, accelerated solvent extraction, ultrasonic extraction, heat
reflux extraction.
8. Chromatography: Introduction, principle, procedure and applications of
– Paper chromatography, Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), High Performance Thin Layer
Chromatography (HPTLC), Adsorption chromatography, Column chromatography, Gas
Liquid Chromatography (GLC), Ion-exchange Chromatography, Reverse phase
chromatography, High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Liquid chromatographyMass
spectrometry (LC-MS), Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
9. Spectrophotometry - Basic principles, Beer-Lambert’s Law. Principle and biochemical
applications of UV-Vis spectrophotometry, atomic absorption spectroscopy. Theory and
applications of IR, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Nuclear Magnetic
Resonance spectroscopy (NMR) in the study of macromolecular structures, Raman
spectroscopy, Mass spectroscopy.
