These are:
- Thin layer chromatography (TLC)
- Gas chromatography (GC)
- High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)

[/cs_text][cs_text]Technological advances lead to the development of more techniques that can be used in analytical investigations. The limitations of a certain technique could be resolved by introducing new techniques. This greatly helps the forensic chemists to achieve better results in shorter period of time.[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]
