[Studies on medico-legal diagnosis in cold district. 5. The blood shed on the snow (author's transl)]. 1979

T Suzutani, and H Ishibashi, and Y Yoshiuchi

By using bovine blood as a model, the authors have observed the forms and patterns of the blood drops shed or spurted on the snow and the extent of a large amount of blood absorbed in the deep snows, investigating the influence of the properties of snow upon them. It has been demonstrated that the polarographic method is most excellent for the purpose of determining the amount of blood absorbed in the snow.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011048	Polarography	An electrochemical technique for measuring the current that flows in solution as a function of an applied voltage. The observed polarographic wave, resulting from the electrochemical response, depends on the way voltage is applied (linear sweep or differential pulse) and the type of electrode used. Usually a mercury drop electrode is used.	DC Polarography,Pulse Polarography,Polarography, DC,Polarography, Pulse
