Abstract
Thirty percent cocaine:inositol residues and latent fingerprints were deposited on a wide variety of porous and nonporous substrates typical of the types of materials encountered in casework. Protocols were investigated which would optimize the probability of recovery of both drug residues and latent prints. Different protocols are required for porous and nonporous surfaces.
