TESTING PROCEDURE:
- MOISTEN A PIECE OF FILTER PAPER (INCLUDED) WITH DISTILLED WATER.
- TOUCH STAIN WITH MOIST FILTER PAPER FOR ABOUT ONE TO TWO MINUTES.
- CRUSH BOTH AMPOULES AND SHAKE TESTER FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE.
- REMOVE INTEGRITY CAP.
- SATURATE THE SWAB BY HOLDING THE APPLICATOR TUBE IN A DOWNWARD POSITION.
- LIGHTLY SQUEEZE THE TESTER TO FORCE A DROP OF SOLUTION TO FALL FROM THE TIP, ONTO THE FILTER PAPER.
- DO NOT TOUCH THE TIP OF THE APPLICATOR TO THE FILTER PAPER!
- THE PRESENCE OF SEMEN IS INDICATED BY A DARK PURPLE COLOR CHANGE WITHIN 3-5 SECONDS.
NOTES:
- A STERILE Q-TIP CAN BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THE FILTER PAPER.
- DO NOT TEST THE ACTUAL STAIN ON THE GARMENT AS THIS MAY DISCOLOR THE GARMENT, AND CONTAMINATE IT.
- BY TESTING THE Q-TIP OR FILTER PAPER, YOU DO NOT HARM THE GARMENT, OR THE ORIGINAL STAIN.
- IF FURTHER TESTS ARE NEEDED, YOU CAN STILL SEND THE GARMENT TO A LABORATORY FOR TESTING, SEE: AISS LAB SERVICES
- WHEN TESTING THE FILTER PAPER, IT WORKS BEST TO LET THE DROP OF TESTING SOLUTION FALL NEAR THE EDGE OR SIDE OF THE PAPER,
NOT IN THE CENTER. THE PORTION OF THE FILTER PAPER THAT HAS THE SUSPECTED SEMEN STAIN WILL USUALLY BE IN THE CENTER OF
THE PAPER.
- WHEN THE SOLUTION FALLS ON THE OUTER EDGE/SIDE OF THE FILTER PAPER, IT WILL "DRAW" ITSELF ACROSS THE PAPER,
(SINCE IT HAS BEEN MOISTENED WITH THE DISTILLED WATER), AND REACT WITH THE SUSPECTED SEMEN STAIN.
- YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE A COLOR CHANGE MUCH EASIER THAN IF YOU JUST LET THE DROP FALL DIRECTLY ONTO THE
SUSPECTED STAIN SECTION.
- MOST STAINS WILL CHANGE TO A DARK PURPLE WITHIN 3-5 MINUTES. A "POSITIVE" REACTION WILL CHANGE TO DARK PURPLE WITHIN 3-5 SECONDS.
NOTE: This test is not 100% accurate. It tests for the presence of Acid Phosphatase,
which is highly concentrated in semen. This is the same type test used by Police. Once a positive result is
generated, a spermatozoa lab test would yield 100% accuracy. Read more about these tests can be found in our
Laboratory/Forensic Services section. SEE: AISS LAB SERVICES
