AmylasePaper
General
The SERATEC® Amylase Paper is a mapping tool for the preliminary detection of saliva on samples of forensic evidence. A positive result indicates both presence and location of saliva. Thus, the subsequently extracted DNA can be considered to originate from saliva stains (no "touch DNA").
PMB Test — Menstrual Blood Test
General:
The SERATEC® PMB Test combines the detection of human hemoglobin and D-dimer. Thus, the product is suitable for the differentiation between human peripheral blood and human menstrual blood.
