 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

[edit]The Phadebas Forensic Press test is used as a presumptive test for saliva.[1]
There are other bodily substances that can test positive for alpha-amylase using the Phadebas Forensic Press test. Some examples include faeces,[1][2] semen,[2][3] urine[4][3] and tears[3]. Although there is possibility of false positives from other sources of amylase, the instructions for use published by Phadebas Forensic state that no other forensically relevant biological fluid (with the exception of faeces) will react within 10 minutes of performing the test.[1] It is also been shown that certain undiluted detergents can cause a positive reaction when tested with the Phadebas amylase test.[5] The test is not human specific; it is sensitive to saliva from other species, amylase from microbes such as Baccilus and extracts from certain plants including apple and cabbage.[6]
One alternatives to the Phadebas test is the RSID-saliva test (Independent Forensics, Hillside, IL).[4] The RSID-saliva test is an immunochromatographic assay that relies on the interaction between α-amylase and the human α-amylase antibody.[4][6] It has been observed to be more sensitive than the Phadebas test, and cross-react to fewer non-human saliva amylase sources.[4]
