Formula
Stock Solution: 1 g M.B.D. powder dissolved in 1 liter Acetone M.B.D. Working Solution (Combine in the order listed): 10 ml M.B.D. Stock Solution 30 ml Methanol 10 ml Isopropanol 950 ml Petroleum ether Procedure of Application
Development Complete When
The cyanoacrylate has absorbed the dye stain. Source of Error
Surfaces that absorb too much dye stain will fluoresce too brilliantly to be effective for photography. Incompatibilities
Items that inherently fluoresce in the 515 nm range will interfere with the dye stain fluorescence. Precautions
Avoid excess build-up of cyanoacrylate, since this may result in ridge detail depicting little contrast to the strongly fluorescent surface. Storage Container
Dark stoppered glass or plastic bottles. Safety
Fume hood use is required when preparing and applying this reagent. Recommendations
The recommended procedure of application is to immerse the item in a tray of the dye. A rinse using Methanol may be necessary to reduce excessive staining by the dye. Similar Reagent
