a.Benzidine

What follows apresumptive test to establish the identification of blood?
b.Confirmatory test.
Confirm blood is present when results are positive

True

Eliminate stains from further consideration when test is negative

True

Catalyticcolor tests use chemical oxidation of a chromogenic substance by an oxidizingagent catalyzed in the presence of blood, specifically hemoglobin

True

CatalyticColor Tests do not result in false positive results

False

Phenolphtaleincolor produces pink color for blood is a confirmatory testbody

False

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


Luminol is mixed with oxidant in an aqueous solution

•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.
