Enhancement of ninhydrin- or DFO-treated latent fingerprints on thermal paper.

J. Forensic Sci. 52 , 649-655, (2007)

A new method for enhancement of ninhydrin or 1,8-diazafluoren-9-one (DFO)-treated latent fingerprints on thermal paper will be described. Most thermosensitive surfaces of thermal paper become dark when treated with DFO or ninhydrin petroleum ether (NPB) solut...

Study of the reaction mechanism of 1,8-diazafluoren-9-one with the amino acid, L-alanine.

Forensic Sci. Int. 109 , 87-103, (2000)

This paper describes the study of the reaction between 1, 8-diazafluoren-9-one (DFO) with the amino acid L-alanine in methyl alcohol. Particular interest was paid to the possible role of the solvent which appears to react with the DFO to form a hemiketal that...

Use of an optimized 1,2-indanedione process for the development of latent prints*.

J. Forensic Sci. 53 , 1108-1116, (2008)

1,2-Indanedione belongs to a class of compounds which have demonstrated great potential in the processing of latent prints, particularly in the area of fluorescence. However, variability in results achieved worldwide has precluded it from being used extensive...

Luminescent visualization of latent fingerprints by direct reaction with a lanthanide shift reagent.

J. Forensic Sci. 46 , 1332-1341, (2001)

The utilization of the lanthanide shift reagent tris (6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptafluoro-2,2-dimethyl-3,5-octanedionato) europium (III) [Eu(fod)3] as a simple one-step reagent for the luminescent visualization of latent fingerprints has been investigated. UV excitatio...
