    PREFACE

    Several forensic instrumental techniques have been tested and utilized in an effort todetermine the sequencing in crossed-line intersections (CLI) and until now scientists have

    been unable to create a standardized operational procedure to solve this issue in question.Theproposed approach put forth by INTERPOLs Counterfeit and Security Documents Branch

    (CSDB) in partnership with the Academy International des Experts en Ecritures et

    Documents (AIEED), is a unique one due to its aim to develop a non-intrusive and non-destructive optical method. This new approach is directed at confronting the old problem offorgeries, including but not limited to, falsifying identity documents and financial frauds.

    However, this goes beyond the traditional methods of analysis, which mostly requiredphysical altering of data samples. The advantages of developing a non-invasive technique aretwo-fold. First, developing a technique that does not physically alter the sample which wouldallow for the sample to undergo multiple experiments. This is often necessary in empiricalsituations where the sample is contested during a trial or when judicial authorities instructfurther testing by different parties on the same sample. Second, preserving the samplesvalidity by utilizing non-invasive experiment techniques would allow for the samples to bestored and archived in CLI databases which could be utilized for future investigations. Thementioned database would serve document examiners and law enforcement personnel as auseful resource and reference tool at national and international levels.

    We finally have the outcome of this research which is the result of two years ofworking together. We wish to share the first phase results with the international community,in particular with forensic laboratories and document examiners in preparation of their expertopinions. Thus, this project will foster the development of new research in this domain andexpertise to facilitate knowledge-sharing between international laboratories. We hope that thiswill then encourage the cooperation within their respective national law enforcement agenciesin an effort to provide member countries with the knowledge, skills and best practices neededto face the rising challenges of falsified and forged documents. In addition, by utilizing thetechniques developed by this research, document examiners will be able to work and assistnational law enforcement agencies by increasing their limited national knowledge to that ofinternational developments.

    We express our gratitude to the 60 forensic document examiners from 17 membercountrieswho have participated in this project. We will be extending a second phase of this

    project which is aimed at verifying and confirming our results gained by chromaticluminescence. We wish to combine chromatic luminescence method with chemical methodsto determine ink ageing. This second phase will emphasize the new protocol of what will be

    put in place.

    The Physical-Chemistry Study of Line Crossings project is guided by principlesthat are complementary to our mandates and INTERPOLs commitments to support police

    and law enforcement agencies in its member countries. Gaining a better understanding of thesequencing of line-crossings will help forensic document examiners to identify falsifieddocuments, which will assist criminal investigations and combat and prevent future crimes.

    INTRODUCTION

    BACKGROUND

    In 1999, INTERPOLsCounterfeit and Security Documents Branch and INTERPOLsmember countries, in cooperation with LAcademie Internationale des Experts enEcriture et Documents (AIEED) completed a scientific project entitled ConditionedGraphic Reflexes.

    In March 2009, at the 4th International AIEED Congress M. Didier DEVY, AIEEDscientific adviser published the use of energies to discriminate colours. In October 2009, Mr Jos BALBUENA AIEED member, published Chromatic

    luminescence applied in Forensic Science- International Conference in Criminalexpertise.- Joao Pessoa-Brazil,

    In April 2010, AIEED approached the same Branch at INTERPOL with a proposal tocollaborate on its new scientific project entitled Physical-Chemistry Study of LineCrossings. Mrs Daniela DJIDROVSKA, Specialized Officer, presented the projectPhysical-Chemistry Study of Crossed Line Intersection to Mr Jamil DARWISH, Headof the Counterfeits & Security Documents Branch, Financial and High-Tech CrimeSub-Directorate.

    On 24 October 2010, the scientific project was officially submitted for considerationto Mr Jean-Michel LOUBOUTIN, the Executive Director of Police Services whoapproved the project for action.

    The AIEED1Research Committee nominated Mr. Carlos VARGAS MERIDA to actas Criminalistic Supervisor and Mrs Daniela DJIDROVSKA as Chemical Supervisorrepresenting INTERPOLs Counterfeit and Security Documents Branch. In addition,Dr. Emmanuel Beck, professor at the Universit Jean Moulin Lyon 3will supervisethe project proceedings to ensure that the process adheres to proper scientific

    procedures and methodology.

    INTERPOL frequently encourages the incorporation of forensic science into its policework, recognizing the importance of science to the development of technology andinvestigations.

    INTERPOL understands the great importance of this initiative to help solve thechallenge of forgeries in identity documents and financial frauds.

    INTERPOL links the line crossing initiative with the new philosophy in policing thatwill be implemented by the INTERPOL General Secretariat in the upcoming years.

    This research is fully in line with the directives and guidelines of the creation of theINTERPOL Global Complex for Innovation in Singapore.

    INTERPOL strengths the forensic capacity of member countries to examine andidentify fraudulent or altered documents in other types of crime, such as economicfraud, money-laundering or currency counterfeiting

    Police worldwide are facing an increasingly challenging operational landscape, ascriminals take advantage of new technology. Criminal phenomena are becoming moreaggressive and elusive, notably in the areas of cyber-crime and sophisticated

    counterfeit. It is crucial for police to stay one step ahead of criminals. Innovation andstate of the art technology must become our best allies.

    OBJECTIVES

    The objectives of this research are to collect currently little known information about linecrossings, based on the order of inscription of the lines: migration, ageing of inks and dating,

    by using non-destructive observation methods.Until now solution of these problems required experts to run time demanding investigationsand the results were more or less subjective.This information is of critical interest to writing and document experts in the preparation oftheir expert opinions.

    GENERAL HYPOTHESIS

    At the crossing point of two lines using different inks, there will be chemical and physicalreactions which will depend on the quality of the inks used, evidence of the order ofinscription of each line andevidence of the time separation the execution of the two lines.

    The general hypothesis is composed of three hypothesis that we aim to prove. At the crossingpoint of two lines using different inks, there will be:

    1sthypothesis chemical and physical reactions which will depend on the quality of the

    inks used2

    nhypothesis evidence of: the order of inscription of each line

    3r

    hypothesis evidence of: the time separating the execution of the two lines.

    EXPERIMENTAL PLAN2

    For this research, all documents used were well stored. Badly stored documents would requireadditional research.Sixty handwriting/questioned document experts from sixteen countries participated in the CLIexperiments during 12 months period. (See list of participants in Appendix 1)The following writing instruments, representing those most commonly used world-wide, werecrossed in this research:

    THE EXPERIMENTS

    The experiments were performed in two phases:1. The crossed line intersection (CLI) produced at the same time (=T)2. The CLI produced at different times (Sectors A, B, C and D)

    Figure 3

    Each experiment was made up of 2 tests:Test 1: the first writing instrument was used to draw the first line and the second writinginstrument was used to cross the line.Test 2: the order of writing instruments was reversed, whereby the second writing instrumentwas used to draw the first line and the first writing instrument was used to cross the line.It was necessary to produce a minimum of 15 crossed lines per experiment.

    TEN CASES SELECTED FOR EXAMINATION

    Ten of the sixty experiments carried out in different countries were selected for examination.All the writing instruments listed on page 5 were used in the selected experiments. (See list ofselected experiments on page 15).

    PHYSICAL ANALYSIS PROTOCOL

    The experiments were analysed by experts trained in, and equipped for, physical analysis, andwho have been appointed expert-experimenter-measurer by the Research Committee.

    The physical analysis had to respect the following conditions:

    1.

    The procedure does not alter the document.2. The execution had to be easy and fast.3. The equipment had to be within the reach of experts.4. The demonstration had to be objective.5. The result had to be easy to understand.

    EXPERT-EXPERIMENTER-MEASURER

    Ten Expert-experimenter- measurers from different countries were designated by theResearch Committee (see list of 10 Expert-Experimenter-Measurers on page 15).

    EXAMINATION AND ANALYSIS OF EXPERIMENTS

    RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 1st

    HYPOTHESIS

    The examination and analysis of the experiments for the first hypothesis belonged to MrCarlos VARGAS MERIDA, expert in handwriting and questioned documents at ICPO-INTERPOL General Secretariat, seconded by Mrs Jacqueline BECK and Mr JoseBALBUENA.

    RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 2nd

    HYPOTHESIS

    The examination and analysis of the experiments for the 2ndhypothesis was the responsibilityof those experts equipped and trained for physical analyses, and who were appointed expert-

    experimenter-measurerby the Research Committee. (See list page 17)

    RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 3rd

    HYPOTHESIS

    The examination and analysis of the experiments for the 3rdhypothesis was the responsibilityof Mr Jose BALBUENA, seconded by Mr Miguel AGUILAR, and Mr Emmanuel BECK.

    PROCEDURES

    Once appointed, each expert-experimenter-measurer (EEM) was responsible for analysing thecrossed line intersections following the general protocol outlined below:

    1. Experiments undertaken using the selected Spectral analysis equipment.2. All analyses in pairs to examine/analyse the crossed line intersections (CLI) in the

    same optical conditions for each of the two positions: instruments in position 1/2 andinstruments in position 2/1.

    3. Daylight, coaxial light and metameric examination of the lines and crossed-lines usinga stereomicroscope.

    4. CLI analyses using IR luminescence and chromatic luminescence.5. Observation of spectral reaction in crossed line intersections(SRCLI)6. Verification and noting of any differences between the SRCLIby pair.7.

    All photographs from experiments fully referenced.

    The spectral reactions

    The spectral reactions to be taken into account were: The ink disappears IR luminescence Reflection Absorption Chromatic luminescence

    OIPC INTERPOL-SG CSDB - AIEED-2013

    The spectral reaction in CLI (SRCLI)

    Analysis of the lines to determine: the type of spectral reactionfor each of the two lines andthe crossed-line intersection. The EEM observed and noted:

    The spectral reaction of the line produced by instrument 1

    The spectral reaction of the line produced by instrument 2 The Spectral Reaction in CLI.

    Classification of CLI

    The EEMhad to check whether or not there were different SRCLI in the analysis by pair(1/2, 2/1) and to classify them either as positive crossed-line intersection or negativecrossed-line intersection.

    Different SRCLI in the analysis by pair (1/2, 2/1) were called: positive crossed-lineintersection (+CLI) where i t was possible to identify the position of the instruments (seeFigure 4)

    When the SRCLI gave the same result, it was called: negative crossed-line intersection(-CLI)because i t was not possibleto identify the position of the instruments.

    Validation of the positive crossed-line intersectionThe +CLIwas only validated if several EEM using the same procedure obtained the sameresult.

    Figure 4

    Criteria to validate analytical methods

    Using the Prof. Cline WEYERMANN5recommendations the criteria used were:1. Reproducibility2. Repeatability3. Systematic errors (bias)4. Selectivity and detection limits.

    To date, criteria 1 and 2 have been examined. Further analysis using criteria 3 and 4 isrequired.

    RESULTS: 1stHYPOTHESIS

    At the crossing point of two lines there will be : chemical and physical reactions6

    which will depend on the quality of the inks used

    We have to demonstrate that the SRCLI depends on the quality of the inks used. Thephysical analysis was carried out using the equipment mentioned on page 6 and thefollowing results were obtained:

    Sample BCertain cases show that some physical reactionsexist in CLI, sufficient to demonstrate the firsthypothesis.

    Stereo-Microscope+metamericlight

    Sample BMany cases show that significant physicalreactions exist in CLI. Metameric light is adaptedto show the chromatic reactions in CLI.

    IR luminescenceSample CIs insufficient for the kind of precision required in CLI.

    Chromaticluminescence

    Sample CMany cases show that significant physical reactions existin CLI. Chromatic luminescence would seem the bestadapted to show variations in color of the chromaticreactions in CLI.

    6A physical reaction is the change in the appearance of a substance in which it can change back to it's originalstate.

    IR luminescence

    IR luminescence is less effectivefor the analysis of CLI because the spectralreactions are shown in shades of greywhich is a serious handicap.

    The experts spent three months on the analysis and at the end reached the followingresults as shown in figure 15. As can be seen:

    Experiments n 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10were 100% validated (see results in green).

    Sectors B, C and D were 100% validated using chromatic luminescenceproduced by metameric light.

    Experiments n 5 and 7 were not validated because the EEM only used the IRmethod to examine the results. IR luminescence is less effective for the analysisof CLI because the spectral reactions are shown in shades of grey which is aserious handicap. However, during the 2nd Workshop on May 25 th, 2012 theEEM re-examined the results of experiment n 5 and 7 using metameric light andchromatic luminescence. They were validated and confirmed by the 16international experts participating in this Workshop.

    For experiment n 9, sectors =T, A, B, C, D were not validated. IR

    luminescence, stereomicroscope with polarised and metameric lights, andchromatic luminescence have not yet been able to show significant differences inCLI. Other possibilities should be examined.

    RESULTS: 3rd

    HYPOTHESIS

    At the crossing point of two lines usingdifferent inks, there will be evidence of the timeseparating the execution of the two lines.

    We had to demonstrate that time affects the physical spectral reactionin CLI. This meansthat two CLI made at different time intervals8 (T1Tn) using the same instruments in thesame position (2/1 and 2/1) do not give the same the spectral reaction.

    Figure 17

    We observed that the 3-week interval used for the CLI in this research was insufficient todemonstrate scientifically the effects of time in CLI. AIEED-INTERPOL therefore agreed tocarry out a second

    research project in parallel, and over a 5-year period with its own scientificprotocol, to obtain results that could validate the 3rdhypothesis.

    Some results (included below) from the second research project are being used in thisresearch project to demonstrate the effect of time in crossed line intersection.

    The physical analysis by pairs of SRCLI was carried out using the equipment mentioned inpage 6 and the following results were found:

    HOW TIME AFFECTS THE PHYSICAL ASPECT OF INKS

    We have verified that time generates physical effects in the CLI of certain inks. Usingchromatic luminescence we were able to observe them. Two procedures could be used tocalculate/evaluate time effects: the intensity of chromatic luminescence in CLI, and theexpansion of ink migration.

    Measuring the intensity of chromatic luminescence in CLI

    We can measure the intensity of chromatic luminescence in CLI to calculate/evaluate theageing of ink.

    Case N 1

    Instrument 1: black ink felt-tip pen Paper Mate type Flair M, Instrument 2: Red Ink-padTRODAT. Chromatic luminescence

    clearly shows the physical effectsgenerated by the time interval inCLI.

    Figure 18 shows an example of twoCLI that were produced by the sameinstruments, in the same position, witha 12-month time interval. The resultsare different. Whereas CLI ()T1has astrong chromatic luminescence, CLI()T12 (i.e. 12 months later) shows a

    dark red reflection.Figure 18

    When inks of the instruments 1 and 2 are bothexecuted at the same time, some chemicalcompounds9 produce a strong chromaticluminescence in CLI (1/2)T1Twelve months later the chemical compounds

    that were able to produce the strong chromaticluminescence in CLI (1/2)T1 have eitherchanged or disappeared. Chromaticluminescence intensity in CLI seems to beaffected by the time. Only a dark blue reflectionis observed.See: CLI (1/2)T12 in Figure 19.

    Proposal method to measure the intensity of chromatic luminescence in CLI

    Figure 22 and 23 show the intensity of chromatic luminescence in CLI produced by the sameinstruments, in the same position (1/2) with a 4-month time interval. Using colorimetricsoftware, the following results were obtained:

    1.

    At the same time, CLI has a strong intensity of chromatic luminescence: 90%.2. One month later the intensity in CLI reduced to 72%.3. Two months later the intensity in CLI was 65%.4. Three months later the intensity in CLI was only 36%.

    Figure 22

    Figure 23 there is a correlation between time and the Intensities of chromatic

    luminescence in crossed line intersection (ICL-CLI)

    In this type of CLI, measuring the intensity of chromatic luminescence in SRCLI could be anew way to calculate/evaluate the ageing of ink. These physical procedures enable us toobserve the ageing of ink, whereas a chemist has to use destructive methods to try and detectthe ageing of ink. New research to establish the appropriate procedures to calculate/evaluatethe ageing of ink will be necessary.

    Measuring Ink Migration

    Measuring ink migration could be another method tocalculate/evaluate the ageing of ink. We haveobserved two types of migration: visible and invisiblemigration.

    Visible Migration

    When one of two inks is liquid, chromatic migrationcould easily be observed using daylight and astereomicroscope, but this type of migration is notsignificant to calculate/evaluate the ageing of ink.

    Figure 24

    Invisible Migration

    The non-chromatic compound(s)of certain kinds of fluid inks tend to migrate through thechromatic compounds of the other ink in crossed-line intersections. As invisible migrationcannot be observed using daylight and a stereomicroscope, we have to observe it usingchromatic luminescence produced by metameric light. Certain frequencies (modulations) ofmetameric light show this invisible ink migration very explicitly as can be seen in Figure xx.

    Figure 25 the green arrows show the invisible ink migration. This

    characteristic is invisible using daylight

    How long does the non-chromatic compound of fluid inks taketo expand along the other ink?We still do not know. We need to carry out new research to establish the speed of invisiblemigration using the procedure described below.

    Procedure to measure ink migration

    To measure ink migration in CLI using fluid inks, we think it would be necessary to takeseveral pictures with chromatic luminescence and metameric lights using a specific protocolwhich indicates the type instrument, the type of light, the type of barrier filter to be used. 10Over a period of five years, we could for example:

    1. Carry out the CLI and take a picture2. Take the same type of picture every 5 minutes the first hour.3. Take the same type of picture every 10 minutes the 2nd hour.4. Take the same type of picture every 30 minutes the 3rd hour.5. Take the same type of picture every hour as of the 4thhour to 8thhour.6. Take the same type of picture every day during the 1stmonth.7. Take the same type of picture every week during the next eleven months.

    8.

    Take the same type of picture every three months during the next twelve months.9. Take the same type of picture every four months during the next two years.10.Take the same type of picture every six months during the last year.

    At the end of the procedure, we would be able to observe and measure the speed of inkmigration for the kind of fluid inks used.

    Figure 12 shows a real case of ink migration. This example did not benefit from a certifiedmethod and so new research would be required to validate the speed of ink migration.

    Figure 26 the image shows the invisible ink migration in a 5-year old signature

    10The filter and the frequency of metameric light used must be able to reveal the migration.

    In the 3rd

    hypothesis we have demonstrated that:

    2 CLI made at different time intervals (T1 Tn) using the same instruments in the sameposition (2/1 and 2/1) do not give the same spectral reaction.

    Figure 27

    The results of the 3rd

    hypothesis were validated by Mr Jose BALBUENA, seconded by MrMiguel AGUILAR and Mr Emmanuel BECK and confirmed by the 17 international expertsparticipating in the 2nd Workshop on May 25th, 2012.

    Measuring the intensity of chromatic luminescence in CLI and the speed of invisible ink

    migration could constitute new ways to calculate/evaluate the ageing of ink.

    It is hoped that chromatic luminescence and other technologies will evolve even further sothat the ageing of i nkcan be examined with more precision.

    CONTRIBUTION OF THIS RESEARCH

    In examining crossed line intersection

    In the document Ref: METISL001 European Document Experts Working GroupExamination of Intersecting Lines, issued on 15 September 2004, several cautionarypointswere made. It is hoped that this research offers new scientific ways to resolve these points.In this section we will reproduce the cautionary pointsand present possible solutions.

    3.3 Caution has to be taken when one of both inks involved in the crossing are aqueousbasedmaking the determination of the sequence dif fi cul t and often extremely risky.

    How to calculate/evaluate the ageing of ink

    Using the physical method described in this research, we have found that it could be possibleto observe the effect of time on certain inks. Measuring the intensity of chromatic

    luminescence in CLI could help resolve the ageing of ink colorants in a much shorter time.We have shown that the intensity of chromatic luminescence decreases dramatically as eachmonth goes by.

    The physical analysis used in this research has been examined and validated by severalforensic laboratories. Because chromatic luminescence is a non-destructive methodologicalanalysis, all the results obtained throughout the research can be repeated.

    To determine the ageing of ink with greater certitude, AIEED-INTERPOL is extending itsresearch over a 5-year period. The physical analysis used in this research could enable expertsto observe, measure and present court evidence using photos, complemented with colorimetric

    diagrams.

    One of the procedures used (chromatic luminescence) in this research to calculate/evaluate theageing of ink, enables the experts to observe invisible migration phenomena. The findings

    obtained seem to be independent of colorant degradation.

    The procedure used could help experts to measure the migration of the not chromaticcompound of certain kinds of fluid inks, along with other inks.

    Certain frequencies of metameric light used with chromatic luminescence show invisible inkmigration very explicitly. It could be possible to use this procedure to measure the speed ofink migration to calculate/evaluate the ageing of ink.

    We think that in the near future this could be a new way to calculate/evaluate the ageing ofink.

    CONCLUSIONS

    All the conclusions emanating from the results of this research project are based ondocuments that have been well stored. The writing instruments used in the study, representthose most commonly used world-wide. 90% of the instruments universe is represented.

    FIRST CONCLUSION

    Concerning: the physical reactions in CLI

    1. In the CLI of several cases (instruments in position 1/2 and 2/1) using different inks,

    we found several types of significant physical spectral reactions such as luminescence,reflection, absorption, visible and invisible migration.

    2. The spectral reaction in crossed-line intersections can be observed and measured foruse as forensic evidence.

    3. Chromatic luminescence would seem the best adapted to show variations in colour ofthe chromatic reactions in CLI. The results of the analyses are presented in the form ofcoloured images. Colour photos can be taken and presented as evidence. Othersspectral analysis could be added as complementary information.

    4. Daylight, UV and IR analysis alone are insufficient for the kind of precision requiredin CLI.

    SECOND CONCLUSION

    Concerning: the order of inscription of each line in CLI

    1. In the CLI of several cases (instruments in position 1/2 and 2/1), different spectralreactions were found corresponding to the order of inscription of each line.

The use of metameric lights with stereo microscope and analysis by chromaticluminescence would seem the best adapted to show variations in colour of thechromatic reactions in CLI 1/2 and CLI 2/1. The result of the analysis is presented inthe form of coloured images. Colour photos can be taken and presented as evidence.Others spectral analysis could be added as complementary information.

    3.

    IR luminescence is less effective for the analysis of CLI. The presentation of thespectral reactions in shades of grey is a serious handicap.4. Day light alone is insufficient for the kind of precision required in CLI.5. There are cases of CLI (instruments in position 1/2 and 2/1) where we have not yet

    found significant differences. We will extend our research of these cases.

    THIRD CONCLUSION

    Concerning: the time separating the execution of the two lines.

    1. The 3-week interval used for the CLI in this research shows subtle indications oftemporality, insufficient to demonstrate scientifically the effects of time in CLI.AIEED-INTERPOL decided to implement a new research project, in parallel over a 5-year period; we have used some of the results of this new parallel research project toshow the physical reaction generated by the time interval in CLI.

    2. Chromatic luminescence and determinated type of metameric illumination clearly

    show the physical reaction generated by the time intervalin CLI, we noticed thatin certain cases of inks the greater is the interval separating the executi on of twoli nes in CL I , the greater are the dif ferences in the spectral reactions.

    3. We have found in certain cases of inks there is a correlation between time and thein tensity in SRCLI. Measuring the intensity of chromatic luminescence in SRCLI

    could be a new way to calculate/evaluate the ageing of ink. The result of the analysisis presented in the form of coloured images. Colour photos can be taken and presentedas evidence. Colorimetric analysis could be added as complementary information.

    4.

    Chromatic luminescence complemented with certain frequencies of metameric lightclearly shows the invisible migration of cer tain inks ,measuring the speed of i nkmigrationcould be another way to calculate/evaluate the ageing of ink. The result ofthe analysis is presented in the form of coloured images. Colour photos can be takenand presented as evidence. Colorimetric analysis could be added as complementaryinformation.

    5. To measure ink migration we woul d need to take a picture every hour or every dayover a much longer peri od of time e.g. one year.

    6.

    New research to establish the appropriate procedures to calculate/evaluate theageing of i nk wil l be necessary. The physical effect of time over ink could bemeasured using colorimetric devices.

    7. There are cases of CL I (instruments in positi on 1/2 and 2/1) where we have not yetfound sign if icant evidence to calculate/evaluate the ageing of i nk. We will extendour research of these cases.

    STATE OF PLAY OF THIS RESEARCH AND FUTUREORIENTATIONS

    Based on the results of this research project and in light of the above-mentioned conclusions,AIEED-INTERPOL considers that a number of actions need to be taken in order to completethis research:

    1.

    Pursue this kind of experimentation using documents stored in different conditions(e.g. documents stored in very damp conditions, or exposed to sunlight).2. Pursue new research to establish the appropriate procedures to calculate/evaluate the

    ageing of ink to strengthen the results found using chromatic luminescence.3. To determine the ageing of ink with greater certitude, AIEED-INTERPOL is

    extending its research over a 5-year period; a new protocol will be submitted forapproval by the scientific committee.

    4. Determine possible systematic errors in the methodology used.5. Finish the study of the selectivity and detection limits as recommended by Prof. Celine

    WEYERMANN.
