How do I detect vaginal discharge in my husband’s underwear?
Detect semen mixed with vaginal discharge.
Many of the samples that we receive for testing are male and female undergarments, but we offer testing on a wide variety of non- clothing items including: used tissues, feminine products, shower drains, wood chips, carpet, condoms, pizza, hair, spit in baggies and cups, finger wiping on tissues, floors, combs and brushes, food wrappers, feminine pads and tampons, band aids, fistulas from medical procedures, bed linens, bed posts, wash cloths and towels, and toothbrushes. If you have any questions about a sample you would like to send in for testing, contact us at 844-441-8610.
The most accurate and sensitive collection is to take cuttings from the sample and allow the stain to be directly extracted from the map of the fiber as done in our laboratory semen sperm saliva detection test.
These two items differ greatly in the type of performed extraction. A feminine pad is treated similar to a pair of panties while a tampon is hydrated, and the squeegee is tested.
The most accurate and sensitive collection is to take cuttings from the sample and allow the stain to be extracted from the map of the fiber. Many customers elect to order the nondestructive test due to the value of the linens
Customers have sent hundreds of condoms and most skip the semen/sperm/saliva test. In many cases, that was a bad decision. Many condoms are unused and are moist from the lubricant providing the appearance of sexual activity. Condoms are often used in pranks and may have male or female DNA from handling even though no semen or sperm is detected. Unless you are 100% sure the condom was worn on the penis, you should have the semen/sperm/saliva detection test performed prior to DNA extraction.
The most accurate and sensitive method is to send the entire sample to allow us to hydrate the sample for testing while preserving the integrity for potential DNA profiling.
The most accurate and sensitive collection is to take cuttings from the sample and allow the stain to be extracted from the map of the fiber. Many customers elect to order the nondestructive test due to the value of the item. We will evaluate the item for the non-destructive test that you ordered and contact you prior to testing if the destructive test is significantly justified.
The most accurate and sensitive collection is to take cuttings from the sample and allow the stain to be extracted from the map of the fiber. Due to the size of the item, if you notice a specific questionable stain, you should highlight the periphery with a black or noticeable marker. Please note that cloth wash cloths and towels frequently have trouble providing a stable DNA profile due to contamination and bacteria growth, but this will not affect the outcome of a semen, sperm, or saliva detection test.
Due to the value of these items, it is best to remove the cushion and allow us to review the stain under special UV lighting. Our recommendations will lean toward the non-destructive test if possible.

If the test is positive, then the hair may also be useful to determine the contributor(s). e cushion and allow us to review the stain under special UV lighting. Our recommendations will lean toward the non-destructive test if possible.
If the container can be tightly closed, then send the entire product in to be centrifuged. If is not possible to close the item, pour the contents through a new coffee filter (pour slowly as close to the bottom of the filter as possible). Dry the filter in the open position at room temperature then send the filter paper in.
Depending on the size of the applicator, we normally shave the surface fibers from the applicator for testing. Makeup sponges are known to contain large amounts of bacteria which
may affect the results of a DNA analysis but will not affect semen, sperm, or saliva detection testing.
The most accurate and sensitive collection is to take cuttings from the sample and allow the stain to be extracted from the map of the fiber. Wear latex gloves when handling and cut the stained portion off using a single edge razor blade and place in a new paper envelope. Tape the envelope shut. Please note that carpet fibers frequently have trouble providing a stable DNA profile due to contamination, but this will not affect the outcome of semen, sperm, or saliva detection testing.
Testing fluids (other than water) is highly intricate. SSDI can detect less than 2 ng (one billionth of a gram) per ml (milliliter) of semen in fluids. That equates to less than 1µl (microliter) in a standard water, coke, or juice bottle. The average ejaculation will vary widely between men and may contain between 0.1 and 10 milliliters (100 to 10,000 µl). A teaspoon is 5000 µl and a tablespoon is 15,000 µl. SSDI can detect 1µl of semen in a bottle or can of soda, water, juice, or beer. The most important issue in dealing with soft drinks and juices is establishing the pH so that it does not destroy the gold labeled anti murine antibody complex in the immunochromatographic strip test. Our proprietary process includes an array of control standards and unique devices such as the 15 mL conical tube spin baskets we manufacture for the centrifuge.
