    Abstract

    At present, the scientific techniques and tests available to locate and identify particular body fluids are both time consuming and destructive in nature.Technological advances have led the way to rapid, miniaturised, DNA analysis with the ability to obtain a DNA profile from a small number of cells. Forensic science is calling for assistance to develop current body fluid detection capabilities in line with the advances of DNA and the requirements of the criminal justice system.
