    Study Notes

    Searching for an Unknown Blood Stain

    • The first step in searching for an unknown blood stain is to visually observe and document the area.
    • It is recommended to use a magnifying glass or an alternative light source to aid in the search.

    Collecting an Unknown Blood Stain

    • The recommended tool to use for collecting an unknown blood stain is a sterile swab or a clean, moist cotton cloth.
    • The collection method used for unknown blood stains from a porous surface is the swabbing method.
    • Other collection methods used for unknown blood stains include the scraping method, lifting method, and cutting method.

    Analyzing an Unknown Blood Stain

    • The first step in analyzing an unknown blood stain is to perform a presumptive test.
    • The presumptive test used to determine if a stain is likely to be blood is the Kastle-Meyer (KM) test or the Phenolphthalein (PP) test.
    • The confirmatory test used to definitively identify the presence of human blood in a stain is the Ouchterlony or the DNA analysis.
    • The steps involved in analyzing an unknown blood stain include: presumptive testing, confirmatory testing, and DNA analysis.

    Types of Testing

    • Presumptive testing methods used for analyzing unknown blood stains include the Kastle-Meyer (KM) test and the Phenolphthalein (PP) test.
    • Confirmatory testing methods used for analyzing unknown blood stains include the Ouchterlony and DNA analysis.
