500 ml Sodium hypochlorite in 500 ml distilled water Procedure of Application
Development Complete When
Darkening of the ridge detail visualized with Physical developer, and a lightening of the background is noted. Source of Error
The item must first be pre-treated with Physical developer. Incompatibilities
This process cannot preceed the use of Silver nitrate. The item must first be pre-treated with Physical developer. Precautions
The item must be thoroughly rinsed after immersion into the working solution, else deterioration of the item may occur. Storage Container
Dark or Clear stoppered glass or plastic bottles. Safety
Fume hood use is not essentially required for preparing and applying the working solution. Recommendations
This process is especially effective for brown paper bags and for currency. Sequential Reagent
