Forensic Saliva Test
Phadebas Forensic Saliva Test products are divided into two categories: the press test and the tube test. The Phadebas Press Test contains pre-coated papers that are capable of localizing and identifying saliva on any type of fabric or material. The assay is easy to perform, and it circumvents the difficulties of locating saliva deposits with, for example, alternate light sources. The Phadebas Tube Test is used for the presumptive testing of suspicious stains. The tube test assay is very sensitive and is regularly used as an indicative test of visible stains. All Phadebas Forensic Saliva Test products are produced in clean-room facilities to avoid the risk of contamination. The enzyme α-amylase is found in very high levels in saliva. Its activity in stains is used as an indicator for the presence of saliva. The test used to identify amylase uses Phadebas®, consisting of starch microspheres with a blue dye cross-linked to the starch. The blue starch microspheres are immobilized on filter paper sheets. In the presence of amylase, the starch is digested, releasing the water-soluble dye, which diffuses through the pores of the filter paper. The resulting blue color is visually observed on the non-reagent side of the Phadebas® paper.
