Can the presence of blood, sperm or semen be detected on an item of clothing or other materials/objects?
Yes. Testing can be performed to confirm the presence of blood, sperm and/or semen in a sample. • What is the best sample to take from a dead body for DNA testing? Blood, tissue or hair roots can be collected from a body. If the body is decomposed, the best samples are long bones such as the humerus or femur. However, we can also work with teeth. • Are you able to get a DNA profile from urine? Yes. A profile can be obtained from urine. • Can you test hair without the root? Yes. Instead of using nuclear DNA testing, we would use mitochondrial DNA testing. • How much of an evidence sample is needed to obtain DNA results? This depends on the condition of the sample and the type of testing performed. We specialize in unusual and difficult forensic samples. Contact us to discuss the details involved with your case. • I have a sample with a male/female mixture, but no male DNA profile was obtained from standard testing. Is there a way to obtain a male profile? Yes. Y-STR testing can be used
