  • Abstract:
  • Forensic serology is a branch of forensic science that focuses on the analysis of bodily fluids, such as blood, saliva, semen, and urine, to aid in criminal investigations. This discipline utilizes various biochemical techniques to identify and characterize biological samples, providing critical evidence in legal contexts. Advances in serological methods, including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and mass spectrometry, have enhanced the sensitivity and specificity of analyses, enabling the detection of trace amounts of biological material. The integration of serological data with DNA profiling has revolutionized forensic investigations, allowing for more accurate linking of suspects to crime scenes. Despite these advancements, challenges remain, including the potential for contamination, degradation of samples, and the interpretation of results in a legal framework. This abstract highlights the importance of forensic serology in modern criminal investigations and the ongoing developments aimed at improving its efficacy and reliability.
