Peptide ratios for post-mortem interval estimation using targeted liquid chromatography triple quadrupole mass spectrometry

Key Points

• The method accurately estimates post-mortem interval using specific peptide ratios derived from samples.
• Key evidence shows a significant correlation with a confirmed accuracy of 85% in determining time since death.
• Assessment using targeted liquid chromatography and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry for precise measurements.
• Findings suggest that peptide ratios may serve as reliable biomarkers in forensic science, enhancing time of death estimation.
