BLUESTAR® FORENSIC MAGNUM
3 mes more powerful
BLUESTAR® FORENSIC MAGNUM, 3 mes more powerful than the regular BLUESTAR®
FORENSIC, has been especially formulated for the cri cal cases when minute blood par -
cles are searched for (microscopic droplets that have been projected onto an agressor's
clothing for instance). Such droplets, invisible to the naked eye, and even under a magnifyer,
are some mes the only evidence available to confound a murderer. With the MAG-
NUM version, their discovery is easier thanks to the increased sensi vity and intensity of
the luminescence.
Read the Lautz & Webb compara ve study on BLUESTAR® FORENSIC MAGNUM performance
and effects on DNA.
Search for blood on washed objects
The MAGNUM is also very useful when searching for blood on washed garments (or other objects). Its higher sensi vity helps to make blood
stains stand out. Par cularly suited for forensic lab technicians who need an extremely efficient chemical for detailed examina on of items
such as clothing or weapons.
Avoid drippings on ver cal and smooth surfaces
The MAGNUM is also usable in a variety of situa ons, in a laboratory or at a crime scene that involves a limited search area or ver cal and
smooth surfaces, using the outstanding ECOSPRAY. The combina on MAGNUM + ECOSPRAY is a winner in such cases as it avoids drippings
while s ll producing a strong luminescence. As the product won't run, performing morphoanalysis is s ll possible a er spraying BLUESTAR.
Watch this video showing the performance of BLUESTAR FORENSIC MAGNUM sprayed on various smooth and ver cal surfaces such as a window
or a door. Begins with the presenta on and prepara on of the reagent, followed by a demonstra on. The ECOSPRAY sprayer being superior
to the SPRAY GUN used in the video, it now replaces the la er in our catalog.

Package content
Bo le containing 125 ml (4 oz) of chemiluminescent solu on
1 foil packet containing 3 tablets of oxidizer.
How to prepare the solu on
You will need a spray bo le equipped with a fine mist atomizer or use an ECOSPRAY. Pour the content of the BLUESTAR® FORENSIC MAGNUM
into the spray bo le and add the three tablets ot obtain 125 ml (4 oz) of solu on.
The product can also be used in three separate doses, for searching small objects (such as a garment). Pour 1/3 of the bo le content into the
spray bo le, then add 1 tablet of oxidizer.

BLUESTAR® FORENSIC "TRAINING"
4 APPLICATIONS
This version of BLUESTAR® FORENSIC is intended only for training purposes. It has the same packaging
and amount of tablets than the BLUESTAR® FORENSIC TABLETS but it is cheaper so as to cut back training
expenses.
It will react in the same way as regular BLUESTAR® FORENSIC TABLETS do, except for DNA analysis since
the "TRAINING" version destroys DNA. Therefore, it is a great product for training crime scene technicians
but is definitely not usable for real inves ga ons.
4 pairs of individually packed tablets
Each pack provides the instructor with the possibility to prepare 4 mes 125 ml (4 oz) of BLUESTAR® FORENSIC working solu on or 500 ml (16
oz) at once.
Pack content : 4 pairs of individually and herme cally sealed tablets. Each pair holds one beige tablet (the reagent) and one white tablet
(catalyst).
How to prepare the solu on
To prepare the working solu on, you will need to dissolve a pair of tablets (white + beige) in 125 ml (4 oz) of tap water in a bo le equipped with
a fine mist atomizer. Or use the 4 pairs at once if you need 500 ml (16 oz).

Be er than a sprayer, more than an aerosol
ECOSPRAY is a small fully self-contained micro-sprayer with a disposable gas pressure reservoir that applicates
fluids with a perfect mist quality (fineness, even coa ng and distribu on of par cles). Its performance with
BLUESTAR FORENSIC MAGNUM is outstanding. See for yourself in this 2011 Science and Jus ce paper :
"Chemical enhancement of footwear impressions of blood on fabric - Part 2 Peroxidaxe reagents".
Easy to use
Simply a ach the disposable pressure reservoir to the ECOSPRAY body unit, fill and a ach the liquid container
with BLUESTAR solu on. Press the bu on to spray BLUESTAR in a uniform mist. ECOSPRAY can be lted down at
a 45° angle or even more without losing performance, a true advantage when it comes to spraying horizontal
objects or surfaces.
How does it work ?
ECOSPRAY works like a gun paint sprayer. The BLUESTAR solu on is sucked up from the container and is sprayed by the gas propellant in vapor
phase. The performance of the metal jet nozzle is far superior to what you might obtain with a hand pump sprayer or a common aerosol, as
you can see below: ECOSPRAY works like a gun paint sprayer. The BLUESTAR solu on is sucked up from the container and is sprayed by the gas
propellant in vapor phase. The performance of the metal jet nozzle is far superior to what you might obtain with a hand pump sprayer or a
common aerosol, as you can see below:
Hazard free - Environmentally safe
Non-flammable, non-explosible, non-toxic, odorless gas - Preserves the ozone layer.
No ce the difference in size and distribu on between the Ecospray (le ) and an ordinary
hand pump sprayer (above). These tests were carried out in the exact same condions
(same fluid, same distance, same kind of surface).
When do you need an ECOSPRAY ?
The exact bloodstain pa ern is of acute importance for analysts. It provides a be er understanding of what happened at a crime scene.
In some cases, the crime scene inves gator might have to reveal bloodstains on non porous surfaces, such as acrylic paint, ceramic, glass, marble,
etc. Because BLUESTAR FORENSIC is dissolved in water, spraying the reagent on such surfaces, especially ver cal ones, will cause drippings,
thus irreversibly distor ng the ini al bloodstain pa ern. This is prejudicial to subsequent blood pa ern analysis.
To solve this problem, it is necessary to spray the smallest mist of the reagent possible on such surfaces. It is almost impossible to spray such a
fine mist using a common pump sprayer. ECOSPRAY diffuses BLUESTAR in such a fine mist that the risk of drippings or spreading the blood
trace is minimized. With a li le training, the bloodstain will not drip or run.
ECOSPRAY - BLUESTAR MAGNUM : the ideal combina on
With a lesser quan ty of reagent sprayed and coming into contact with blood, the reac on will be less luminous than with a common pump
sprayer. To ensure a strong luminescence and good quality pictures, it is therefore recommended to use the ECOSPRAY in conjunc on
with BLUESTAR FORENSIC MAGNUM, which produces a more intense and longer-las ng reac on than the regular BLUESTAR. Results are then
op mum.

Hexagon OBTI
is the perfect complement to BLUESTAR. This rapid monoclonal an body screening test verifies
that a stain is blood of
human origin. HEXAGON OBTI is a two part test: a collec on tube for the blood sample, and a
test bar. A sample of the presumed human
blood trace is transferred into the tube with transport medium. This mixture is added drop by
drop to the test. A posi ve sample is typically
detected within 2-3 minutes. Residual sample in the collec on tube can be used for DNA
typing.

Amido Black is useful for enhancing latent prints contaminated
with blood, but it will not successfully develop a normal perspira
on-based print. Although it will not detect the typical chemical
components of latent prints, Amido Black is very sensi ve
to the proteins found in blood and some other body fluids. It
leaves a blue-black stain and is usable on both porous and nonporous
surfaces. It should be used only a er all other physiological
samples have been gathered and all other fingerprint
development methods have been a empted. Instruc ons and
formula ons are included.

Hemas x® from Bayer
The Hemas x is a product for detec ng blood in urine. It detects the peroxide
-like ac vity of hemoglobin. Inves gators have
used it as a quick screen to determine if a substance is likely blood. The strips
are ready to use and turn from yellow to dark
green depending on the amount of hemoglo-bin found in the substance being
tested.

Nite-SiteTM Luminol Reagent
A remarkable product that features luminol which will show tracings, even a er
blood has been cleaned up. You spray it on, and like
magic, microscopic amounts of blood tracings flash an eerie blue glow. This is the
answer when nothing else works. A last resort effort that gives you a full 30 second
