Abstract Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, in particular ATR-FTIR, is a widely
used technique that allows, in a very short time, to screen biological samples and to identify …

Blood, saliva, semen and vaginal secretions are the main human body fluids encountered at
crime scenes. Currently presumptive tests are routinely utilised to indicate the presence of …

OBJECTIVE: To determine if metabolomic profiling of embryo culture media correlates with
reproductive potential of individual embryos. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: An …

Human body fluids and materials were evaluated using attenuated total reflectance Fourier
transform infrared spectroscopy. Purified proteins, cosmetics, and foodstuffs were also …

Several novel methods to determine externally visible characteristics of body fluid donors
have been developed in recent years. These tests can help forensic investigators make …

Semen is one of the most important body fluids encountered in sexual assaults. Traditional
chemical tests are being performed for several decades for analysis of this fluid. Recent …

The ex-vivo biochemical changes of different body fluids also referred as aging of fluids are
