Distance Learning: Forensic Chemistry of Blood Typing

Explore the process for Identifying and Classifying Blood!

Blood typing is a method of classifying blood based on the presence or absence of specific proteins, called antigens, on the surface of red blood cells. Blood type, an inherited characteristic, is valuable to know as it affects medical procedures, such as surgery and transfusions, and paternity testing, as well as serving as evidence in criminal investigations. Determining the blood type of a suspect in a crime can help provide supporting evidence that they are guilty, or eliminate them as a possibility. In this activity, students will determine the blood type of simulated blood samples collected from a crime scene, as well as from two suspects, to determine the likelihood of the suspects’ involvement in the crime.

Kit Includes:

  • Instruction Manual
  • 4 Simulated Blood Samples: 3mL Victim, 3mL Suspect #1, 3mL Suspect #2 and 3mL Crime Scene
  • 1 set ABO/Rh Blood Typing Anti-sera (3mL of each)
  • 8 Blood Typing Trays
  • 1 Pkg Mixing Sticks
