The Combur Test is a ready-made and easy-to-use pretest for blood.
It is based on the oxidation of tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), which is
catalysed by haemoglobin and its derivatives. Despite its high
sensitivity, there are many known substances which are responsible
for false positive and false negative test results. On the basis of
experiments of our own, case reports and the pertinent literature
special aspects of the application of the Combur Test in the
forensic routine case work are discussed.
