Full kit. Easy to use and reliable for the Crime Scene Investigator.
The BLUESTAR® Forensic KIT provides the Criminal Investigation Technician with a complete tool to reveal the presence of invisible blood traces at a crime scene. Just add the tablets, swirl and spray.
A positive chemiluminescent reaction indicates a strong likelihood for the presence of blood. BLUESTAR® Forensic reacts to any type of blood. BLUESTAR® Identi-HEM® or BLUESTAR® OBTI rapid immunochromatographic tests may be used for the specific identification of human hemoglobin. A sample will later be confirmed in a forensic laboratory.
Product code : BL-FOR-BLUEST
Principle
Sensitivity
BLUESTAR® Forensic is more sensitive than other blood developers. It can detect traces of blood with the naked eye up to dilutions of 1/100000 (see study).
BLUESTAR® Forensic reveals invisible and microscopic blood traces or droplets, especially on dark surfaces. The sensitivity does not depend on the volume of the stain, but on the actual presence of blood.
BLUESTAR® Forensic produces a stronger and longer light reaction that does not require total darkness to be seen and allows to obtain good photographs or films of the bloodstain revealed with ordinary photographic means.
BLUESTAR® Forensic is capable of revealing very old blood. The oldest blood detected by BLUESTAR® Forensic dates back 7000 years during archaeological research(see publication).
False positives
Some food or chemical products may also react to BLUESTAR® Forensic. Training in the use of the product is essential for proper use and recognition of false positives.
A properly trained technician will immediately know the difference between a reaction on blood and a false positive. BLUESTAR® Forensic Training Tablets are available for training purposes. See our tutorials or contact us for a personalized training.
