Review Summary
10g / 0.35 oz
A superior solution for forensic investigations, the Sirchie 10g 1,2-Indanedione is a professional-grade product designed for the meticulous development of latent prints. This innovative product is the outcome of extensive research aimed at finding a cost-effective alternative to DFO, without compromising on quality or effectiveness.
Just like DFO and ninhydrin, the Sirchie 1,2-Indanedione reacts with amino acid residues found on porous surfaces, making it an essential tool in the field of forensic science. Although it seldom produces visible prints, it excels in generating strong fluorescence when exposed to BLUEMAXX or similar alternate light sources. This unique feature enhances the visibility of developed prints, aiding in the accurate identification and analysis of latent fingerprints.
The Sirchie 1,2-Indanedione comes with a factory-supplied formulation that needs to be mixed before use. Please note that once mixed, this high-quality product has a limited shelf life, ensuring that you always use it at its peak effectiveness. While this reliable product is designed for optimal performance on most surfaces, it is not recommended for use on lower quality papers such as newsprint, cardboard, and recycled writing papers.
In the realm of latent print development, the Sirchie 10g 1,2-Indanedione stands out as a reliable, effective, and high-quality choice. Trust in the innovation and expertise of Sirchie to deliver professional results every time.
