Detection of alcohol in saliva for blood alcohol concentration using alcohol saliva strip test: A forensic aid

Analyzing alcohol in breath, blood, saliva, and urine for forensic purposes: Taiwanese population

This study was conducted to better understand the metabolism/distribution characteristics of alcohol in Taiwanese population. It is anticipated that the data hereby obtained will be helpful to the result interpretation of the breath alcohol testing currently adopted in Taiwan. A series of cross analyses were conducted on 84 (56 males and 28 females) healthy Taiwanese volunteers aged 20-61. The ...

Alcohol screening with the Alcoscan test strip in forensic praxis.

The Alcoscan test strip was applied as an assay for the screening of alcohol in vitreous humor and urine samples in autopsy cases and in saliva from drunken drivers. The method gives instant and reliable semi-quantitative information on the presence of alcohol and is valuable when considering the necessity of chemical sampling especially during autopsy.

Inhalation of blood, saliva, and alcohol: consequences, mechanism, and treatment.

Developmental validation of RSID-saliva: a lateral flow immunochromatographic strip test for the forensic detection of saliva.

Current methods for forensic identification of saliva generally assay for the enzymatic activity of alpha-amylase, an enzyme long associated with human saliva. Here, we describe the Rapid Stain IDentification (RSID-Saliva), a lateral flow immunochromatographic strip test that uses two antisalivary amylase monoclonal antibodies to detect the presence of salivary amylase, rather than the activity...
