💦 𝐐𝐔'𝐄𝐒𝐓-𝐂𝐄 𝐐𝐔𝐄 𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐌 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐑 ? 🔍
🕵‍♀️ Les policiers scientifiques avaient pour habitude de procéder à des recherches de traces latentes de sperme à l’aide de sources lumineuses polychromatiques (𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦-𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦, 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘦). Bien que cette technique de détection optique soit relativement simple et rapide, elle présente néanmoins de nombreux inconvénients dont de nombreux faux-positifs et un taux de faux-négatif élevé (𝘦𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘯 30%). Afin de palier ces inconvénients, la police scientifique se dote d’un nouveau produit de révélation de traces latentes de sperme nommé SpermTracker® développé par la société AXO Science sous l’impulsion du Laboratoire de Police Scientifique de Lyon (Service National de Police Scientifique).

💦 La solution SpermTracker® est préparée sur les lieux en quelques secondes en mettant en suspension une poudre dans de l’eau. Le STK Spray® est alors pulvérisé directement sur la scène, quel que soit le matériau suspect à l’exception du textile (𝘴𝘰𝘭, 𝘮𝘦𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘨𝘯é𝘦 𝘥𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦, é𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘳, 𝘧𝘦𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘥'𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘳𝘦, 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘦, 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴...). Une fois pulvérisé, le policier scientifique balaye la scène à l’aide d’une lampe UV (365nm) faisant apparaitre les traces de sperme par luminescence (couleur bleue).

𝑨𝒄𝒄𝒓é𝒅𝒊𝒕é 𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒏 𝒍𝒂 𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒆 𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕é 𝑰𝑺𝑶18385, 𝒄𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒊𝒕 𝒅𝒆 𝒓é𝒗é𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑭𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒑𝒓é𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒆 𝒑𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒆𝒖𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒔 :

🎯 𝐔𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐩é𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭é 𝐚𝐮 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞 avec un taux de faux-positif quasi nul (𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘶𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘳é𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵)

🧪 𝐔𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭é 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐞 puisqu’il est possible de révéler des traces latentes de sperme sur des supports difficiles (𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦, 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘣é𝘵𝘰𝘯, 𝘣𝘰𝘪𝘴, 𝘦𝘵𝘤.) et datant de plusieurs années.

☠️ 𝐔𝐧𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐭𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭é 𝐞𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭é 𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐜 𝐥’𝐀𝐃𝐍 permettant d’effectuer des prélèvements biologiques sur les traces réagissant positivement au SpermTracker® et d’effectuer des recherches de traces de sperme sur les personnes vivantes à l’aide du STK Skin et sur des textiles à l'aide du STK Lab.
