Rape is a global scourge. It is estimated that 1 woman out of 5 will face rape or attempted rape in her lifetime. Hidden truth lies in millions of unsolved rapes that cannot be proven in the absence of evidence found, sperm traces in front. According to RAINN, out of 1000 sexual assaults, only 4.6 rapists will go to jail.

Crime Scene and Crime Laboratory Technicians often face the difficult task to locate semen traces on evidences and on the scene within a short period of time.

If alternate light sources are widely used, scientific literature agrees that they are unspecific (false positives) and insensitive (false negatives).

It is sometimes estimated that 30% of semen stains are missed by alternate light sources available on the market. Acid Phosphatase spot tests, if more sensitive and specific, are using carcinogen reagent for the user, are long to perform, require lab-prepared mixtures and often lead to repositioning issue and wrong sampling.

After years of research in collaboration with the French Scientific Police (SNPS), AXO Science is now bringing to the forensic experts the Sperm Tracker Technology that improves both sensitivity and specificity of semen detection and offers many advantages to crime laboratory experts and CSI for detecting semen stains.
