An extremely sensitive amino acid reported to develop 46% more latents than DFO. The consistency and quality make this the best in the industry. 1,2-Indanedione is an extremely sensitive amino acid reagent which develops latent fingerprints similar to D.F.O. Developed prints may be enhanced with…

The classic method for developing latent prints on paper and other porous objects.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…

Rhodamine 6G is one of the best dyes to use with cyanoacrylate developed latents and a laser or forensic light source. Available as a premeasured concentrate to be mixed with one liter of solvent.

Small Particle Reagent (SPR) is quick, inexpensive and effective on fresh fingerprints. SPR is composed of finely ground particles suspended in a detergent solution. These particles adhere to the fatty constituents of latent fingerprints to form a visible deposit. Latent prints developed using this…

Nin Plus Ultra is an aerosol-based latent fingerprint development product for use on porous surfaces (e.g. checks, paper, etc.). Nin Plus Ultra dramatically shortens print development time. Latent fingerprints begin developing in as few as 20 minutes with no other tools required. With the…

Amido black is an effective blood reagent when latent or difficult to see blood stains are present. AB will develop exceptional fine detail as needed in bloody fingerprints and footwear impressions. Amido black reacts with blood proteins to create a deep blue color change. The water based…

This is the most widely used formulation of ninhydrin in the world. It has developed prints over two-years old in actual cases and 50-year-old prints in experimental cases. Ninhydrin is packaged in an aerosol can for increased shelf life and convenient field or laboratory use. The A-2643 is…

ThermaNin is a ninhydrin derivative for developing fingerprints on thermal paper. Regular ninhydrin and DFO solutions are either based on polar solvents (like acetone or ether) or contain them. These turn the top (active) layer of thermal paper gray or black. Research has found that hemiketals of…

DFO is a ninhydrin analog used for developing latent prints on porous surfaces. Its fluorochrome properties make it especially useful on multicolored surfaces where the background would interfere with subsequent photography. DFO reacts with the amino acid content of fingerprint residue, and it will…

Basic Yellow 40 is a yellow dye used with a forensic light source or uv lamp after cyanoacrylate development of latent prints. Basic Yellow fluoresces well between 365 and 485 nanometers.

The revolution in latent fingerprint development.Lumicyano allows, with a one-step process, the revelation of fluorescent fingerprints in standard fuming chambers. It removes the post-processing stage of dyeing or dusting with powder : fingerprints fluorescent immediately. Fume & Dye in one step in…
