Expert Blood & Other Body Fluids Services Include:
- Report upon bloodstaining
- Interpretation of all body fluid evidence including saliva, seminal fluid or ‘touch’ DNA

Blood & Other Body Fluids services with Emmerson Associaties
Combining DNA analysis (profiling) and the results of blood pattern analysis can be a powerful tool in determining events and individuals involved in a given incident, thus potentially providing a reconstruction.
Body Fluids
Our experts can review physical evidence and the subsequent interpretation of all body fluid evidence, including saliva, seminal fluid or ‘touch’ DNA. We often undertake additional examinations and consider the entire procedure undertaken to-date. Where appropriate, we make recommendations for further work.
