Identi-HEM®

Manufacturer: Bluestar

BLUESTAR® Identi-HEM® is a rapid, immunochromatographic test, in a device, for specific detection of human haemoglobin.

It is primarily intended for forensic technicians who have found blood stains at a crime scene and need to quickly check the human origin of the blood before eventually sending a sample to a lab for thorough analysis.

Highly sensitive, and very easy to use on a crime scene, BLUESTAR® Identi-HEM® specifically reacts with human haemoglobin. A positive result indicates a strong likelihood for the presence of human blood. A lab analysis will later confirm or infirm this presumption.

Use

• A sample of the presumed human blood trace is transferred into the tube with extraction buffer. Four drops of his mixture are added drop by drop to the test. A positive sample is typically detected within 10 minutes.
• A single wine-coloured line in the “C” area means the testing liquid is working fine but no human blood has been detected while two wine-coloured lines mean the test has worked properly and has detected human blood.
