Forensic Serology

Forensic Serology, 1st Edition, is an academic textbook that provides a complete overview of forensic serology, including biological substances detection, laboratory test mechanics, and result interpretation. Written to support evidence analysis in legal contexts, the text outlines the core scientific principles required to evaluate biological materials recovered during investigations.

The central coverage addresses the primary human bodily fluids encountered in forensic casework, specifically blood, semen, and saliva. Readers progress from basic presumptive testing procedures and confirmatory testing protocols to modern analytical methodologies, including messenger RNA testing, DNA methylation analysis, and proteomic profiling.

Visual learning is supported by color illustrations that demonstrate key aspects of forensic serological testing throughout laboratory procedures. This volume provides an educational reference for undergraduate students, graduate students, university instructors teaching in forensic science programs, and active working professionals.
