It indicates the possible presence of blood, but a confirmatory test with chemicals that only react to hemoglobin must be done to prove it.

We'll be able to do molecular experiments in the memory of a computer rather than in a Petri dish, trying to look at hundreds of chemicals to find out which one is medically relevant.
