Sirchie 1g 1,2-Indanedione for Latent Print Development

Over the years, Sirchie has emerged as a trusted name in the field of forensic science, and the Sirchie 1g 1,2-Indanedione is a testament to their commitment to innovation and quality. This product is a result of extensive research aimed at finding an affordable alternative to DFO for latent print development.

Just like DFO and ninhydrin, the 1,2-Indanedione reacts with amino acid residues found on porous surfaces. Although it may not frequently produce visible prints, the developed prints exhibit a strong fluorescence when exposed to BLUEMAXX or other comparable alternate light sources. This feature makes it an invaluable tool for forensic investigations and crime scene analysis, enhancing the visibility of latent prints under specific lighting conditions.

The product comes with a factory-supplied formulation that needs to be mixed before use. Please note that once mixed, the substance has a limited shelf life, ensuring that you always work with a fresh batch for optimal results.

While the Sirchie 1g 1,2-Indanedione is highly effective, it's worth noting that it's not recommended for use on poor quality papers such as newsprint, cardboard, and recycled writing papers. This is a professional-grade product designed for use on suitable surfaces to yield the best results in latent print development.

In the realm of forensic products, the Sirchie 1g 1,2-Indanedione stands out as a reliable, high-quality, and innovative solution. It's a testament to Sirchie's commitment to providing effective tools for the forensic science community.
