Reading Cadaveric Decomposition Chemistry with a New Pair of Glasses

[en] Smell it out! Thermal desorption has been coupled with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography time of-flight mass spectrometry for the characterization of a cadaveric volatile organic compound mixture producedduring the active decay stage (see figure). The combined use of the Fisher ratio and principal component analysis provided further characterization of the chemical profile of decomposition.
