  • Developed prints show strong fluorescence under BLUEMAXX light
  • Factory-supplied formulation included for mixing optimal results
  • Professional-grade product ideal for forensic investigations

Forensic latent print reagent

Sirchie 1,2-Indanedione is a professional-grade powder supplied in a 1 g quantity for developing latent fingerprints on porous surfaces. It reacts with amino acid residues in a process comparable to DFO and ninhydrin. The developed prints fluoresce strongly under BLUEMAXX or equivalent alternate light sources. A factory-supplied formulation is included for mixing immediately before use.

Suitable for crime scene and lab examiners

This reagent suits forensic investigators who need an affordable DFO alternative and have access to blue-light forensic illumination. It is not intended for use on poor-quality papers such as newsprint, cardboard or recycled writing stock. Examiners without a suitable alternate light source cannot visualise the fluorescence. Once mixed, the working solution has a limited shelf life, so it does not suit infrequent users who require a ready-to-use stable liquid.

One-gram powder quantity

The product is supplied as 1 g of 1,2-Indanedione powder under part reference 508. This amount is weighed for preparing a fresh working solution using the included formulation.

Questions about this item

Can the 1 g 1,2-Indanedione LV508 be used with my existing BLUEMAXX alternate light source?

Yes, the developed prints show strong fluorescence when examined under BLUEMAXX or comparable alternate light sources.

How can I confirm the mixed reagent is still effective after preparation?

The mixed formulation has a limited shelf life; prepare a fresh batch and verify strong fluorescence on a test print under alternate light.

Does the LV508 package include a mixing solvent, or must I supply one separately?

The product ships with a factory-supplied formulation for mixing; any required solvent is not included and must be sourced separately.
