D.F.O. Premix Solutions
D.F.O. (1,8-Diazafluoren-9-one) is used to develop latent prints on porous surfaces. D.F.O. reacts to the amino acids present in a latent fingerprint. The resulting prints will fluoresce with the use of a forensic light source. D.F.O. may be applied by either dipping or spraying. After processing with D.F.O., the development may be accelerated with heating. The item must be dried, then placed in a heating chamber set to approximately 212°F for 20 minutes, or heated with a standard dry clothing iron (no steam). EVIDENT provides D.F.O. Premix Solutions as a 4 oz. premix liquid. Available in HFE-7100 mixture.

Fluorescein

This chemical mixture of Fluorescein causes a catalytic reaction to occur between the hemoglobin in blood and oxygen. This reaction produces a luminescent stain which will luminesce in the dark when excited with UV or ALS. The major advantage of Fluorescein is that it will continue to luminesce for hours under UV or ALS after the initial application, and without additional applications of the reagent. This product is commonly used to detect blood spatter, blood stained fingerprints, and footwear impressions, as well as, blood evidence which has been concealed or cleaned. Fluorescein also reacts with materials other than blood, therefore, caution should be exercised when interpreting luminescent areas. Provided as an 8 oz. premix set.
