Bayesian evaluation of the modified zinc test and the acid phosphatase spot test for forensic semen investigation.

The modified zinc test is evaluated as a screening instrument in forensic semen identification using the classical acid phosphatase test as a "gold standard" reference. Both tests were applied to vaginal swabs taken from women (n = 456) at varying time periods after sexual intercourse and the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were calculated for both tests separately and for their paral...

A modified test for Brucella agglutinins.

0.1% Protamine sulphate in normal (0.85% w/v) saline has been used as a diluent in Brucella serology instead of saline as such. The use of protamine sulphate in this concentration has obviated the need for performing the modified Coombs test to detect non-agglutinating Brucella antibodies. This method has been used in the Microbiological Diagnostic Unit of the University of Melbourne in the rou...
