Other techniques that
were used in the past
gave false negative and
false positive results for
the presence of blood
This instrument is
easier to use as per the
salt plate FTIR
REASON FOR USING THIS INSTRUMENT
![Page 6: FOR INVESTIGATIVE PURPOSES. WHAT IS THE FTIR? WHAT IS ITS PURPOSE? WHY USE THIS INSTRUMENT AS PER OTHERS? MORE INSIDE INFORMATION ON FTIR INTRODUCTION](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110206/56649d085503460f949d9701/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
OBJECTIVES
Test for the presence of blood under certain
conditions• Burning blood• Serial dilution of blood• Denaturing by using bleach• Aging over a period of time
![Page 7: FOR INVESTIGATIVE PURPOSES. WHAT IS THE FTIR? WHAT IS ITS PURPOSE? WHY USE THIS INSTRUMENT AS PER OTHERS? MORE INSIDE INFORMATION ON FTIR INTRODUCTION](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110206/56649d085503460f949d9701/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
THE SPECTRA OF BLOOD

METHODS
Aging Blood• Prepare slides with blood
drop on each.• Date them • Place a drop by itself on the
spectrometer to analyze spectra on the first day
• Leave the other slides to dry• When retesting it, wet a
swab with distilled water and swab as much blood onto the swab
• Dab it onto the spectrometer and run the spectra

METHODS
Serial Dilution • Obtain 10ml of blood• Pipette 9ml from the
10ml and then add 1ml water
• After this dilution obtain another 9ml of the previous sample and add another 1ml of water
• Shake well after adding water to each sample
• Repeat process 4 times

METHODS
Burning Blood• Get a watch glass and
place a drop of blood on top
• Get a ring stand with clamp and set it up with the watch glass on top of the clamp
• Light a Bunsen burner and burn the sample until it turns completely black and unnoticeable as blood
• Wet a swab with water then swab the sample
• Use FTIR to test the sample

METHODS
Bleaching Blood• Obtain a test tube and a
bottle of bleach• Place 0.5ml of blood
into the test tube using a Pipette
• Fill the test tube half way with bleach
• Stir the solution in the test tube
• Pipette some of the sample from the tube and test it on the FTIR spectrometer

CONCLUSION
The instrument is reliable in detecting the
presence of blood under all four conditions, however
it does not detect a simultaneous trend with aged
blood
Easier to move around
