Forensic labs utilize a test known as abacard or p30 test to screen for psa.
Choline test forensic. Dark brown rhombic crystals of choline iodide resembling haemin are seencholine comes form seminal vesicals barberios test. The produced hydrogen peroxide in the presence of peroxidase as a catalyst oxidizes and condenses phenol and 4 aminoantipyrine to generate a red quinone stoichiometrically. Unique combination of choline spermine is present only in semen.
Another presumptive test for semen is the detection of prostate specific antigen psa or the p30 molecule. While knowledge of toxic materials spans several centuries the ability to test for these poisons systematically was not available until the early 20th century. An appropriate sample size and dilution of the sample must be used.
Choline is known to occur in high concentrations in seminal fluid and the florence iodine test for its detection has been used in forensic science for many years however very little is documented regarding its sensitivity and specificity in forensic casework. In those samples identified as containing semen choline was detected twice as often by the enzymatic method compared to the florence method 846 versus 403. The choline results were correlated with spermatozoa and acid phosphatase tests.
1 ml of semen present can be detected by this method. Choline is the precursor for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which is involved in many functions including memory and muscle control. Liquid semen dried seminal stains can be identified by a thin layer chromatographic technique.
This test was previously used by the sbi lab but is no longer used. Psa is produced in high amounts by the male prostate gland. Choline and spermine test.
Blood semen saliva urine perspiration feces not fluid but tested nasal mucus and human milk. The cation appears in the head groups of phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin two classes of phospholipid that are abundant in cell membranes. Lab procedure for completing this test see the forensic biology portion of the iso procedures page of the ncscl website.
Kits should be stored at room temperature and buffers should be stored at 4 c. Spermine picrate crystals are seen. Florence solution is potassium iodide iodine and water.
The tests were conducted on 293 actual casework samples. The free choline in the sample is first oxidized by choline oxidase to produce hydrogen peroxide and betaine. Presence of spermin is detected.
Rsid test for human blood. Forensic serology detection identification and typing of body fluids and secretion either in native form or as stains or residues left at a crime scene. Today forensic toxicology routinely involves alcohol and drug testing.
