There is a vast amount of chemical processes involved in forensics, it all depends on what it is you rare testing and what you need to find out.

Techniques include:

* Gas chromatography - separates a compound into is constituents i.e. fire accelerants * High performance liquid chromatography - also separates compounds, can be used for drug analysis * Polarography - can test for the presence of heavy metals in liquids * Raman Spectroscopy - can be used for ink and paint analysis * Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy - can be used for anything from drug analysis to paint analysis * Flame Absorption Atomic Spectroscopy - can be used to detect metal ions in mixtures
