Developmental validation of RSID-saliva: a lateral flow immunochromatographic strip test for the forensic detection of saliva.

Developmental Validation Studies of RSIDTM-Saliva Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Strip test for the forensic detection of Saliva

Developmental validation of a novel lateral flow strip test for rapid identification of human blood (Rapid Stain Identification--Blood).

Human blood is the body fluid most commonly encountered at crime scenes, and blood detection may aid investigators in reconstructing what occurred during a crime. In addition, blood detection can help determine which items of evidence should be processed for DNA-STR testing. Unfortunately, many common substances can cause red-brown stains that resemble blood. Furthermore, many current human blo...

Developmental Validation Studies of RSIDTM-Semen A Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Strip test for the Forensic Detection of Seminal Fluid

Evaluation of Rapid Stain IDentification (RSIDTM) Reader System for Analysis and Documentation of RSIDTM Tests

The ability to detect the presence of body fluids is a crucial first step in documenting and processing forensic evidence. The Rapid Stain IDentification (RSIDTM) tests for blood, saliva, semen and urine are lateral flow immunochromatographic strip tests specifically designed for forensic use. Like most lateral flow strips, the membrane components of the test are enclosed in a molded plastic ca...

Identification of human semenogelin in membrane strip test as an alternative method for the detection of semen.

Semenogelin (Sg), a protein originating in the seminal vesicles and a substrate for prostate specific antigen (PSA or p30), is a useful marker for the identification of semen. And detection of Sg has been available commercially in a membrane test recently. PSA is commonly used to detect semen in forensic significant samples taken from sexual assault cases. The strip PSA test has been available ...
