Specialist Investigations using Investigative Forensic Chemistry Techniques
The single most important factor in the success of any specialist investigation is the experience of the consultant assigned to the project. At Leeder Consulting, our key staff have extensive industry specific experience and have appeared as Expert Witness in the many of the following areas.:

• Food & Packaging Interactions
• Odour & Taint Investigations
• Certifying Packaging for Food Contact
• Cargo Contamination & Damage
• Product Claims Investigation
• Chemical Residues
• Product Impurities
• Paints & Coatings
• Fuel Analysis

Investigations can be initiated in response to specific problems or incorporated into pro-active Quality Assurance and Product Development Programs.

Chemical Fingerprinting is often the first step in any investigation and can be used to identify and characterise the sample in question. Chemical Fingerprints are the unique signatures of different contaminants as determined by various analytical methods. They can be obtained in almost any type of material including solids, liquids and gases.

Presentation of Data and Conclusions is perhaps the most important component of an investigation. The nature of investigations is usually highly technical and the results and conclusions must be conveyed in an effective, convincing manner or their value will be lost. In particular, if results are to be presented in Court as evidence, they must make and leave a clear, credible and lasting impression.
