Review Summary
1 g / 0.035 oz
Take your forensic investigations to the next level with the Sirchie 1g DFO Fluorescence Powder, a high-quality ninhydrin analog specifically engineered for latent print development on porous surfaces. This efficient product stands out for its fluorochrome properties, making it an invaluable tool when working on multicolored surfaces where background interference could hinder subsequent photography.
The DFO Fluorescence Powder reacts seamlessly with the amino acid content of fingerprint residue, ensuring it doesn't interfere with further analysis using ninhydrin, silver nitrate, or physical developer. In fact, it's been reported by numerous labs that the use of DFO can actually enhance the results achieved with ninhydrin.
This reliable product is not only effective for developing latent fingerprints but also shows promising results in developing latent blood prints. Occasionally, DFO may produce lightly colored (pink) latent prints, but its real strength lies in its fluorescent properties.
The DFO Fluorescence Powder can be activated using various light sources, including ultraviolet light, BLUEMAXX, and other alternative light sources. To ensure better control and minimize waste, DFO is now conveniently packaged in a pump spray, which contains 100ml of pre-mixed reagent. For labs that prefer to prepare their own formulations, DFO is also available in crystal form.
Choose the Sirchie 1g DFO Fluorescence Powder for effective, efficient, and reliable latent print development in your forensic investigations.
