'Intelligent' Fingerprinting:Simultaneous Identification of Drug Metabolites and Individuals by Using Antibody-Functionalized Nanoparticles

摘要

The identification of individuals from indentations made by their fingers has been known for almost 4000 years with the discovery of finger impressions pressed into the clay surface of Babylonian legal contracts.The use of fingerprints for forensic analysis was first suggested in the 19th century with reports that both the study of "bloody finger-marks or impressions on clay or glass may lead to the scientific identification of criminals and that a "signature by means of finger-marks" prevented impersonation or repudiation of a handwritten signature.
