Human Semen Rapid Test Dipstick

Rape, as the criminal activity, exist every country. An examination after rape requires the use of a reliable semen detection test that is sensitive and has very good negative predictive power. The PSA test is the best marker of the presence of semen and is well suited for use in emergency consultations.

PSA (Prostate-specific antigen) is a glycoprotein produced in the prostate and secreted into the seminal fluid. PSA is one of the major proteins in seminal fluid. The fact that PSA is found only at very low concentrations in female vaginal fluid (0.4-0.9 ng/mL and 0.0-1.25 ng/mL, respectively) makes PSA an important marker in forensic science for the detection of even small amounts of seminal fluid in vagina to confirm coitus. Human Semen Rapid Test detects PSA to confirm the presence of semen in vaginal fluids collected with the swab. The test just confirms the presence of PSA as a result of seminal ejaculation, without any indication for coitus being forced sexual assault (Rape) or consensual.
