SERATEC® PMB Test: Advanced Differentiation of Human Blood Types
The SERATEC® PMB Test is a groundbreaking forensic tool designed to solve one of the most common challenges in serology: distinguishing between peripheral human blood and menstrual blood. By utilising a sophisticated dual-marker system, this test allows investigators to identify the presence of both human hemoglobin and D-dimer (a protein fragment produced during the degradation of fibrin clots, found in high concentrations in menstrual blood).
Precision Engineering for Forensic Science
This monoclonal antibody test is engineered for high specificity and sensitivity. In many criminal investigations, particularly those involving sexual assault, the ability to characterise the nature of a bloodstain is vital for reconstructing the events of a crime. The SERATEC® PMB Test provides a clear, visual differentiation on a single cassette, ensuring that forensic teams can provide more detailed context to the evidence they collect.
Versatile Field and Laboratory Performance
Like all SERATEC® forensic products, the PMB Test is designed for robustness and ease of use. It performs reliably in the controlled environment of a laboratory and is equally effective for rapid screening at a crime scene. The process is streamlined to minimise the risk of contamination and human error:
- Rapid Results: Get a definitive reading in just 10 minutes, facilitating faster lead generation.
- User-Friendly Interface: Clear, easy-to-interpret lines indicate the presence of each specific marker.
- High Sensitivity: Detects trace amounts of blood, even when samples are aged or diluted.
Kit Components (Product Code: BID0125)
The kit is packaged to handle multiple samples with efficiency, containing:
- 20 Individually Sealed Cassettes: Maintains integrity and prevents moisture damage.
- 30 Pre-filled Tubes: Each contains 1.5mL of specialised dilution buffer for optimal sample extraction.
