Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, blood identification and discrimination between human and nonhuman blood were performed by portable Raman spectrometer. Raman spectra of bloodstains from 11 species were taken using a portable Raman spectrometer. Raman peaks for blood (742, 1001, 1123, 1247, 1341, 1368, 1446, 1576, and 1619 cm-1) could be observed by the in all 11 species, and the human bloodstain could be distinguished from the nonhuman ones by using a principal component analysis. In addition, we used micro-Raman spectroscopy with high-resolution analysis to discriminate between bloodstains from infants and bloodstains from adults. A peak was obtained at 1105 cm-1, which was assigned to histidine; this peak was observed only for bloodstains from adults. This study discriminate between bloodstains from infants and bloodstains from adults using micro-Raman spectroscopy, with beneficial implications in forensic science.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
血痕検査は犯最も重要な法医学的物体検査である。血痕検査の主目的は個人識別(DNA鑑定)にある。血痕予備試験にはロイコマラカイトグリーン法、ルミノール法が用いられるが、これらには①非特異的反応がみられる②試薬の調整が必要である③試薬によりDNAが分解されてしまう等の難点がある。最大の難点は、微量な試料の場合予備試験を行うとその後のDNA鑑定ができない点である。ラマン分光法は、非破壊、非接触で分析することができ、この難点の克服が可能である。また、ポータブルラマン分光器が普及し始め、屋外などでの測定も可能となっており、DNA検査前のスクリーニング検査法として法医鑑識活動に非常に有用である。
