A simple qualitative method for identification of seminal stains based on a high activity of ~-gtutamyltransferase (y-GTP) in human semen is described. It employs the release of c~-naphthylamine from N-y-glutamyi-c~naphthylamide by the y-GTP action: o~-naphthylamine couples with Fast Garnet GBC salt
The sensitivity and specificity of a zinc spot test for the detection of semen were compared with those of an acid phosphatase detection method. As screening techniques both tests were found to be very sensitive, but the zinc test was more specific and was more reliable in older and especially in de
