Forensics: Lesson 6 Identification of Bodily Fluids
Fill out the chart on the types of tests.
Type of Test | Description |
Positive Test | Test given a positive results; indicating the presence of the expected substances |
False Positive Test | Test given a positive result despite the no presence of the expected substances |
Negative Test | Test given a negative result; indicating no presence of the expected substances. |
False Negative Test | Test gave a negative result despite the presence of expected substances. |
Fill out the chart on types of blood tests.
Benzidine | Upon the presence of blood, the benzene solution reacts to form a dark blue color. |
Guaiac | Used to look for invisible blood occults in a sample; yield a blue color for a positive result. |
TMB | Modified form of benzidine test to remove its negative effects; it yield a blue-green color for a positive result |
Hemastix | A strip test that can be used to detect blood by mixing the sample with distilled water; green indication of positive result |
Ring Precipitin | Mix liquid of antiserum from animals with a blood sample. If a white line is formed between the two fluid rings then, it is a positive result |
Ouchterlony Double Diffusion | Similar to ring test expect the antiserum is put in a central well wti surrounding wells; a barrier is formed |
Phenolphthalein | Use a swab to mix the phenolphthalein to sa sample; pink appearance shows the presence of blood |
Lattes Crust | Blood is added to a stain where it would react with the antibodies in the blood sample to determine its type |
Luminescence | Utilizing fluorescence and alternate light source to illuminate blood presence; green glow |
Chemiluminescence | Utilizing luminol solution and chemical reaction to illuminate blood presence; blue white glow |
Teichmann | Use glacial acetic acid to mix with the sample and heat up; [positive result is when reddish brown and rhomboid-shaped crystals are formed |
Takayama | Use pyridine solution to mix with samples; positive results when solution color changed to purple to pink |
