Featured Products
DFO (CAS 54078-29-4) is a fluorescent dye widely utilized in forensic analyses due to its ability to chemically interact with amino acids present in latent fingerprints. Upon reaction, it emits fluorescence, facilitating visualization and enhancing detection sensitivity, particularly on porous substrates. Its reactive mechanism with trace amino acid residues enables efficient fingerprint identification, establishing it as an important reagent in forensic research and investigative methodologies.
