Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Blood is one of the principal sources of evidence in crime scene investigations. The level of hemoglobin in human blood is known to hardly fluctuate over time in a healthy adult patient. Using a method like the sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) method for hemoglobin level determination is beneficial because SLS converts any other derivates of hemoglobin into methemoglobin. The amount of hemoglobin would be determined using the linear correlation between the absorbance of methemoglobin and its amount in blood samples. Those curves differ significantly from sample to sample. Therefore, a differentiation can be observed between the blood samples of different …
