EngagementModerate engagement

Participants reference specific techniques and researchers, indicating some level of thoughtful engagement.

ImpactModerate impact

Lack of explicit statements about the significance or transformative power suggests moderate perceived impact.

Abstract in brief

The study explores how Raman spectroscopy combined with chemometrics can distinguish blood samples based on the donor's age category (newborns, adolescents, adults), providing a rapid and non-invasive tool for forensic investigations.
The researchers built a model using support vector machines discriminant analysis (SVMDA), which achieved high accuracy (around 96-97%) in correctly identifying the age groups of blood donors, showing promise for practical forensic use.
Determining the age of a blood donor is especially useful because, unlike sex and race, it cannot be identified through DNA, and this method could potentially provide crucial information at a crime scene within a few hours, aiding detectives significantly.]
