1,2-Indanedione, 100mL
An extremely sensitive amino acid reported to develop 46% more latents than DFO. The consistency and quality make this the best in the industry. 99% purity. These items are not eligible for return.$62.85 Add to cart -
Indanedione 1 gram
Develop latent prints for a fraction of the price of DFO with Indanedione! This one gram bottle will give you the ability to capture numerous fingerprints off of porous surfaces. When used with proper lighting, Indanedione can visualize prints as well, if not better, than other methods like DFO. A recent study showed that Indanedione developed 46% more identifiable fingerprints than DFO on actual exhibits! For proper use and storage, Indanedione should be prepared for use shortly before needed. Storing prepared Indanedione for long periods of time will alter the chemical structure, making it less effective than freshly prepared Indandione. Indanedione is not intended for use on poor-quality papers such as newspaper, cardboard or recycled paper.$43.05 Add to cart

Leuco Crystal Violet
Leucocrystal Violet reacts with the heme-group in blood to give a violet color. Its application can be used to identify bloodstains that are not visible and to enhance and provide additional contrast to bloodstain patterns that are visible. This reagent contains hydrogen peroxide, so if used on heavy bloodstains foaming may result and cause loss of detail. Leucocrystal violet is typically used on porous surfaces. These items are not eligible for return.Select options -
Ninhydrin Forensic Solution
Ninhydrin is one of the easiest and most effective methods for developing latent prints on paper. Many latent print examiners use Ninhydrin exclusively on paper because of its effectiveness and/or their lack of a proper setup for DFO.

BLUESTAR Forensic
The BLUESTAR FORENSIC MINI KIT (15083) is meant primarily for police searching small areas or objects for a quick verification when suspecting a crime has happened. Instantly ready: just add a pair of tablets to one of the spray bottles of distilled water. The MINI KIT is much more practical for quick or limited investigations before the intervention of crime scene specialists. The MINI KIT provides two bottles for two independent investigations. WILL NOT ALTER DNA! Each 4 application box of BLUESTAR Tablets (15080) provides the investigator with the possibility to prepare 4 times 125 ml (4 oz) of BLUESTAR FORENSIC working solution or 500 ml (16 oz) at once. WILL NOT ALTER DNA! Each 8 application box of BLUESTAR Tablets (15086) provides the investigator with the possibility to prepare 8 times 125 ml (4 oz) of BLUESTAR FORENSIC working solution or up to 1L (32 oz) if all tablets are used together. WILL NOT ALTER DNA! BLUESTAR Forensic Training Solution is available in 4pk (15085) or 8pk (15084) and is intended only for training purposes. It has the same packaging and amount of tablets that the BLUESTAR Tablets do but it is cheaper so as to cut back training expenses. It will react in the same way as regular BLUESTAR Tablets do, except for DNA analysis since the "TRAINING" version destroys DNA. Therefore, it is a great product for training crime scene technicians but is definitely not usable for real investigations.Select options -
BLUESTAR Forensic Magnum
BLUESTAR® FORENSIC MAGNUM, 3 times more powerful than the regular BLUESTAR® FORENSIC, has been especially formulated for the critical cases when minute blood particles are searched for (microscopic droplets that have been projected onto an aggressor's clothing for instance). Such droplets, invisible to the naked eye, and even under a magnifier, are sometimes the only evidence available to confound a murderer. With the MAGNUM version, their discovery is easier thanks to the increased sensitivity and intensity of the luminescence. The MAGNUM is also very useful when searching for blood on washed garments (or other objects). Its higher sensitivity helps to make blood stains stand out. WILL NOT ALTER DNA! Package contents: Bottle containing 125 ml (4 oz) of chemiluminescent solution 1 foil packet containing 3 tablets of oxidizer.$56.20 Add to cart -

If the sample is blood, the swab will instantly turn a bright blue/green. Each kit includes a QuickCheck sleeve, swab and disposal bag. The recommended “use-by” date on this product is 3-6 months. In some cases the tests may last longer, depending on the storage conditions. When the product color has changed in the ampoules to a green tint, the test should no longer be used.$19.83 Add to cart -
