A second sample (2A) was collected on the same seat, on the cushion. Various techniques were performed in order to determine the content of the samples found. These included: Phenolphthalein, Acid Phosphatase, Hematrace cards, Polymerase Chain Reaction, and Genotyping using STR results from a Qiagen Identifiler Kit. A summary of the techniques, and their listed results is found below: Phenolphthalein o Analysis Acid Phosphatase o Analysis Hematrace o Analysis
