Blood Analysis
What is the blood group of the criminal?
- You have been provided with 4 blood serum samples (labelled 1-4) plus a blood sample taken from the crime scene, labelled CS.
- Samples 1-4 are from known blood groups - A, AB, B and O.
- When a blood sample and a serum sample from different blood groups are mixed together they will clump (clot).
- Use a dropper to add 1cm3 of the serum samples 1-4 to separate test tubes.
- Add 1cm3 of the crime scene blood to each serum sample in the test tubes.
- Carefully shake the tubes and observe each of them to see if the blood has clumped.
- If there isn't any clumping, then the serum blood group matches the crime scene blood group.
