Secretors
|
80% of population; secrete blood type antigens with body fluids
|
|
Steps of Kastle-Meyer Test
|
1. Swipe bloodstain with cotton swab
2. Add de-ionized water to the swab 3. Add ethyl alcohol to the swab 4. Add phenophalein to the swab 5. Add hydrogen peroxide to the swab -- if blood is present, then the peroxidases of the heme will decompose the hydrogen peroxide and PINK COLOR will result. |
