  1. A New and Better Forensic Test for Human Saliva Karl Reich, Ph.D. Independent Forensics Lombard IL

  2. Introduction to RSIDTM Tests for Forensic Laboratories Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Strip Tests for the Identification of Body Fluids RSIDTM - SALIVA

  3. SALIVA Test Format: Lateral flow immunochromatographic strip test Antigen Detected: Human Salivary a-amylase Antibodies: 2 Mouse monoclonals, non-overlapping epitopes Labeling: Colloidal Gold Sensitivity: < 1 ml saliva [No Hook effect] Cross-reaction: human breast milk, fecal samples (both contain a-amylase) Test Read-out: Visual Assay Time: 10 minutes ‘active’ time

  4. extract in provided extraction buffer adsorb stain onto swab 15 min add to RSID-Saliva mix extract aliquot with running buffer (100 ml total) RSIDTM Running Buffer SALIVA

  5. Saliva Body Fluids 50 ml of saliva extracted in 1 ml 0 ml 1 ml 5 ml 10 ml 20 ml Extract B/Se/U B/Se/Sa/U Saliva 0 ml 0.5 ml 1.0 ml 50 nl 250 nl SALIVA

  6. SALIVA

  7. SALIVA First specific, non-enzymatic test for salivary amylase No observed cross reaction with blood, urine, sweat, semen, domestic animals, exotic species, body fluid mixtures Minor, but consistent signals seen with breast milk and fecal samples Fast: Test results in 10 minutest post extraction Sensitive: Detects as little as 50 nl of saliva – stated detection limit: 1 ml No High Dose Hook effect observed: little or no dilution required, less possibility of false negatives Efficient: Assay procedure integrated in DNA-STR analysis
