Forensic serology is the study of blood, semen, saliva and other body fluids to legal
matters. The identification of body fluids is an important examination to help
determine which body fluid stains are suitable for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
analysis. Forensic serology utilizes screening or presumptive tests which allow stains
on anything that a body fluid may have come into contact with during a crime be
identified; for example, weapons, clothing, glass, and carpet.
Every examination begins with a visual examination of the item, and then screening
tests are performed depending on the case scenario. The case scenario helps the
analyst determine if should only be looking for possible blood stains or semen and
blood stains. An alternate light source may be used to help with the visualization with
stains that are normally not visible with the naked eye; for example, semen, saliva,
sweat and urine. The stain is then tested with appropriate screening tests and/or
confirmation tests. If the stain is positive for the screening test; then those particular
stains are either swabbed or cut out and forwarded for DNA analysis.
Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kits (SAECK) are commonly used in collecting evidence
from victims. The SAECK contains swabs for collecting potential body fluids from particular
areas on the victim’s body. The victim’s clothing may also be collected depending on the type
of assault.
Purpose
: To demonstrate body fluid stains on items of evidence and determine the type of
examination to perform.
Procedure
: Based on the scenarios and photos, discuss how you would analyze this particular
item for forensic serology. Please make sure you discuss all aspects of analysis, type of tests
(presumptive or confirmatory), specialized equipment, et cetera (refer to the reading material
or Internet for assistance). Remember to use APA format, if you obtain information from an
outside source.
