Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the specificity and sensitivity of different presumptive tests for identifying blood, semen, and saliva, highlighting the limitations of these tests.
- The investigation compared the Kastle-Meyer (KM) and leucomalachite green (LMG) tests for blood, finding KM more reliable, while the novel red starch paper (RSP) test effectively detected saliva.
- Results indicated that the acid phosphatase (AP) test for semen was influenced by factors like detergents and tea stains, emphasizing the need for a clear understanding of test conditions to avoid misinterpretation.
