Advances for Blood Stain Analysis

Posted by: on Nov 14, 2013 | No Comments

A recent major breakthrough has been noted in the realm of blood analysis. Researchers at Teesside University have developed a blood detecting camera prototype. The device is designed to detect trace amounts of haemoglobin at crime scenes. Not only that, but the camera has been proven to aid with a swift and accurate time of death estimation, especially with fresh blood samples. This device will revolutionize the formerly time-consuming, inefficient techniques of blood analysis at crime scenes. Researchers are hopeful that, in the future, this breakthrough can develop into a method that can be used for other crime scene liquids as well.
