Electrochemiluminescence imaging of latent fingermarks through the immunodetection of secretions in human perspiration

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Aug 21;50(65):9097-100. doi: 10.1039/c4cc03466j.

Abstract

We present the combination of electrochemiluminescence imaging with enzyme immunoassay for the highly sensitive detection of protein/polypeptide residues in latent fingermarks. This technique provides an effective method for fingermark detection that enables both identification of an individual and recognition of the secretions in the human perspiration.
