Abstract
We demonstrate here that the RSID™-saliva test can be used as a test for human salivary α-amylase on samples routinely examined in forensic casework. We show that the RSID™-saliva test detects salivary α-amylase at lower concentrations than the Phadebas® Quantitative test, that the RSID™-saliva test does not cross-react with forensically important human fluids and that the RSID™-saliva test can be successfully integrated into the whole swab semen extraction method.
