SERATEC® α-Amylase Test: Rapid Confirmatory Saliva Identification
The SERATEC® α-Amylase Test is a high-precision forensic tool designed for the rapid identification of human saliva. In the complex world of crime scene investigation, identifying biological fluids is essential for reconstructing events. This test utilises advanced monoclonal antibodies to detect the presence of human α-Amylase providing a robust and reliable confirmatory result that distinguishes saliva from other biological substances.
High Sensitivity for Trace Evidence
One of the most significant advantages of the SERATEC® α-Amylase Test is its extreme sensitivity. It is engineered to detect human saliva even at significant dilutions, ensuring that minute or aged traces—often found on cigarette butts, envelopes, or clothing—are not overlooked.
- Rapid Results: The immunochromatographic assay delivers clear, visual results in just 10 minutes.
- Forensic Specificity: While many presumptive tests can yield false positives, this monoclonal antibody approach focuses specifically on the α-Amylase marker, ensuring laboratory-grade accuracy.
Engineered for Field and Laboratory Use
Designed to be “field-tough” yet “lab-accurate,” this test is ideal for a variety of forensic applications. The procedure is straightforward: simply extract the suspected sample using the provided buffer and apply it to the test cassette. Two lines indicate a positive result, confirming the presence of human saliva and justifying the subsequent, more costly DNA analysis.
Comprehensive Kit Components
Each kit is optimised for high-volume screening and ease of use, containing:
- 40 Individually Sealed Cassettes: Providing a long shelf life and preventing cross-contamination between tests.
- 50mL of Specialised Dilution Buffer: Ensuring you have ample reagent for thorough sample extraction and preparation.
