Barberio’s test – detect semen
kastle meyer test – detect blood stains
Patch test – phytodermatitis
paraffin test – detect gun powder
Tzank smear —HSV

NESTROF Test-Naked Eye Single Tube Red cell Osmotic Fragility is used in disorders altering the fragility of RBCs e.g. Thalassemia, Fe deficiency anaemia..
When black line (drawn on white paper) can’t be seen through the test tube, it signifies decreased fragility (positive NESTROFT) as in Beta Thalassemia Trait.Done during Anc visits first in mother, if positive father’s test also done

Ames test – biological assay to assess the mutagenic potential of chemical compounds,The test uses several strains of the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium that carry mutations in genes involved in histidine synthesis, so that they require histidine for growth. The variable being tested is the mutagen’s ability to cause a reversion to growth on a histidine-free medium.
