CRIME SCENE TOOLS
AMIDO BLACK
Amido black is an effective blood reagent when latent or difficult to
see blood stains are present. AB will develop exceptional fine detail as
needed in bloody fingerprints and footwear impressions. Amido black
reacts with blood proteins to create a deep blue color change. The
water based formulation includes a blood fixative in the ready to use
application, perfect for crime scene processing. The methanol based
formulation will develop sharper detail in the three part application.
This technique is more suitable for lab processing.
The methanol formula requires evidence to be fixed prior to the application
of AB. For crime scene use apply directly to suspected stains.
Nonporous surfaces tend to yield the best results with Amido black
and require little or no over stain rinsing. An application using a wash
bottle (sold separately) is preferred for the completeness of coverage
over spray methods. Lab processing requires the evidence to first be
treated with a blood fixative. The item(s) should then be submerged
in the Methanol based formula cascading the reagent across the
suspected stains. Items should then be placed in the rinsing tray and
gently flow the rinse across the evidence until the impressions become
clear. Once desired clarity is achieved a final rinse is suggested
in fresh rinsing solution followed by a distilled water bath.

ACID YELLOW 7
Acid Yellow 7 stain is one of the newer and more effective fluorescent
stains used to enhance bloody footwear and fingerprint
impressions on nonporous surfaces. Staining reveals a yellowish
colored print which fluoresces under blue-green light (400-490
nm). When lifted with a white gelatin lifter the impression will
often reveal enhanced fluorescence.

WORKING SOLUTION:
Requires ethanol (A-1714, A-1714L) and glacial acetic acid (A-1729, A-1730)
RINSE SOLUTION:
Requires ethanol (A-1714, A-1714L), distilled water & glacial acetic acid (A-1729, A-1730)
