Chemilluminscience in Blood Stain Detection

Crime scene investigators examine the scene of a possible violent crime for evidence, such as fingerprints, hair, fibres, etc.

After collecting the evidence, they notice there is no visible blood.

Someone sprays the area with a liquid then turns out the lights.

A strange, faint glow appears in certain areas of the scene.

Learn how Luminol is used in scenes like this everyday.

The special Luminol formulation does not require a separate hydrogen peroxide catalyst.

Simply re-hydrate and use with the simulated blood haemoglobin to show your class.

This activity includes an Instruction Manual with suggested activities.

There is enough material for several demonstrations.
