The effects on the bloodgrouping of blood stains subjected to the fingerprinting techniques commonly used (powders, chemicals, and laser) were investigated.
Abstract
The bloodstains of various bloodgroups were prepared on three different media: paper, glass, and cloth. After treatment for fingerprinting, the samples were grouped in the nine bloodgroup systems routinely performed at Forensic Laboratory Edmonton. Some distortion or destruction of bloodgroups was detected; however, other techniques appeared to cause no changes. (Publisher abstract)
