Police cold case reviews could benefit from a new technique developed by scientists from Ï㽶ÊÓƵ that can allow for the detection and visualisation of blood in fingerprints.
Ï㽶ÊÓƵers from the University's Biomolecular Sciences Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Centre (BMRC) have been using Advanced Mass Spectrometry to identify blood-specific proteins in fingermarks and stains and the method has been shown to be applicable to palm prints as old as nine years as well as to 30-year-old stains.
