[forensic-science] ASCLD/LAB requirements for calling a stain blood

 

Hello everyone. I have seen several notes on the internet which state that ASCLD/LAB requires both a positive Kastle-Meyer test (or other presumptive test), followed by a positive Takayama microcrystal test before a stain can be called blood, and a positive precipitin or ouchterlony test before a KM+/Takayama+ stain can be called human blood. Does anyone know if these requirements are documented anywhere, and how I can get hold of that documentation? ASCLD/LAB is pretty close-lipped to people like me who are not members of their accredited crime labs.
