Does Bode offer serology screening for unscreened cases? Yes, Bode has available a number of methods of screening for the presence of biological fluids such as blood, semen, or saliva.
• Case Scenario: I have one swab to submit for testing. I would like to know if semen is present and if so, proceed to DNA analysis. Is it possible to perform both the serology and DNA without consuming the sample? Yes, this is possible. To conserve the sample we would do the extraction first and then look for spermatozoa in the extracted DNA. This way we are not taking a portion of the swab for serology up-front. If no spermatozoa are found in the extract we can perform our Y-Marker Screen for male DNA. If male DNA is found, the sample can proceed to DNA analysis. In the case of a vasectomized male we would not expect to find spermatozoa however there could be male DNA (i.e. in the form of skin cells) present in the extracted DNA.
