Question 1
A bench analyst dabs a stain with filter paper, adds phenolphthalin reagent, then hydrogen peroxide, and the paper turns bright pink within seconds. What does this result indicate?
Correct Answer:
Presumptive positive for blood (peroxidase activity)

Why must hydrogen peroxide be added AFTER the phenolphthalin reagent during a Kastle-Meyer test rather than simultaneously?
Correct Answer:
To prevent false-positive color from atmospheric oxidation of reduced phenolphthalin
