Verified project description: Time is one of the most critical factors in crime investigation, yet establishing an accurate timeline remains challenging and often unreliable. Current methods for determining the age of bloodstains typically rely on visual cues like color, which can be misleading. Verified aims to address this gap with a scientific, onsite solution.
​​​
Our method focuses on detecting the albumin levels in bloodstains. These levels naturally decrease as bloodstains age. Using nanobodies we can rapidly measure albumin concentration with chemiluminescence and estimate the age of a bloodstain.
Verified is an onsite testing method minimizing the time between discovery and result by taking laboratory to the crime scene .
With Verified crime scene investigators are able to gather important results straight from the scene.
