SPERM HY-LITER™ uses a fluorescently tagged anti-human sperm head monoclonal antibody to detect the presence of human sperm.
SPERM HY-LITER™ provides specific identification of the human origin of the sample and confirms that male-origin cells are present.
SPERM HY-LITER™ uses Alexa 488 derivatized mouse monoclonal antibody to human sperm heads to specifically identify human sperm from sexual assault evidence by fluorescence microscopy. The method requires a fluorescence microscope: processed slides must be visualized on a fluorescence microscope fitted with the correct excitation and emission filters and light source. In addition to a human sperm specific reagent, SPERM HYLITER™ incorporates a second flourescent dye that stain all nuclei present in the sample (4′,6-diamidino-2- phenylindole, DAPI).
