False |
|
Phenolphtaleincolor produces pink color for blood is a confirmatory testbody

|
When blood presence is suspected, but little is tobe seen, luminol and fluorescein may be used.
|
True |
|
Confirmatorytests for blood included Typesof test include:
|
–Teichmann Test
–Takayama Test (more effective) |
|
Plasma |
-Straw clored -90% water -contains electrolytes -helps regulate body temp -transports blood cells and hormones throughout the body |
|
Erythrocytes |
-Heme -Phagocyte -no nucleus |
|
White blood cells |
-nucleus -Luminol -DNA |
|
Platelets |
-clotting |
|
Luminol
|
•Mixture is sprayed over area •Catalytic activity of the heme group acceleratesoxidation of luminol, producing ablue-white to yellowish green light when blood is present •Luminol is extremely sensitive to presence ofblood |
|
Fluorescence
|
•Fluorescein works similarly to luminol
•Fluorescein which has a commercial thickener can adhere to verticalsurfaces • Fluorescein requires use of an alternate light source, which typicallyis set at 450 nanometers•Fluorescein will not fluoresce with household bleach, while luminoldoes. |
