Formula
Developer Solution (Mix until dissolved): 2.5 g of Crocein scarlet 7B 150 mg of Coomassie brilliant blue R 50 ml of Glacial acetic acid 30 ml of Trichloroacetic acid Dilute above mixture into 1 Liter of distilled water. Use a stirring device until all the dye is dissolved. Rinse Solution: 30 ml of Glacial acetic acid 970 ml of distilled water Procedure of Application
Development Complete When
Maximum contrast is obtained of the blood impression against the background. Source of Error
Excessively blood-stained items will obliterate detail. Incompatibilities
Porous surfaces that strongly absorb the dye. Excessively blood-stained items. Precautions
Don't let the evidence overdevelop in the Developer solution. Storage Container
Dark or Clear stoppered glass or plastic bottles. Safety
Fume hood use is required for preparing and applying reagent. Recommendations
The blood impression must be completely dry before processing with this reagent. Similar Reagent
