    I suppose the best way would be DNA... it'd be the best way for accuracy anyway.
    There are probably other ways with looking at the platelets and finding blood type or something, they'd also have different proteins that makeup the blood so using certain chemicals to induce a reaction could work, but DNA's the only way I can think of that would be certain.
