Sirchie 50g DFO Fluorescence Powder for Latent Print Development

You can elevate your forensic investigations with the Sirchie 50g DFO Fluorescence Powder, a professional-grade ninhydrin analog designed for the meticulous development of latent prints on porous materials. This high-quality powder is engineered with fluorochrome properties, making it exceptionally effective on multicolored or patterned surfaces where visual noise could obscure print capture, thereby enhancing the clarity and detail of the developed prints for precise analysis.

The innovative formula of the DFO powder reacts specifically with the amino acids found in fingerprint residues, ensuring a reliable and non-destructive process that preserves the integrity of the prints for further examination. This compatibility is crucial, as it allows for seamless integration into a multi-step forensic process, including subsequent applications of ninhydrin, silver nitrate, or physical developer without any adverse effects.

In fact, many forensic laboratories have reported that pre-treating surfaces with DFO can significantly improve the results obtained with traditional ninhydrin methods. This synergy not only streamlines the investigative process but also provides a more robust and comprehensive analysis of latent prints.

While DFO occasionally produces lightly colored (pink) prints, its true strength lies in its durable fluorescent properties. When exposed to ultraviolet light, BLUEMAXX, or other alternative light sources, DFO-treated prints exhibit a brilliant fluorescence, allowing for enhanced visibility and photographic documentation under varied lighting conditions.

Furthermore, the DFO Fluorescence Powder is now conveniently packaged in a pump spray, containing 100ml of pre-mixed reagent. This innovative packaging ensures better control during application, minimizes waste, and provides a more efficient workflow for forensic professionals. For laboratories that prefer custom solutions, DFO is also available in crystal form, offering the flexibility to prepare formulations tailored to specific investigative needs.

Choose the Sirchie 50g DFO Fluorescence Powder for its reliable, durable, and innovative approach to latent print development, and trust in its ability to deliver high-quality, accurate results for your forensic science applications.
