Abstract

In criminal investigation, the rapid determination of sex origin of bloodstains found at crime scenes or on clothing evidence provides an important clue to the identification of the suspect. Up to now, sex determination has been performed with morphological methods such as visualization of sex chromatin material (Zech 1969) or sex hormone analysis (Brown 1981; Yamamoto et al 1984).
