Sirchie Luminol Reagent Powder 4oz 8 Each

Forensic Crime Scene Detection

The Sirchie Luminol Reagent Powder supplies eight individual 4oz containers for investigators who mix fresh solution at the scene. Each unit weighs 7.25g and is intended for latent bloodstain revelation on porous and non‑porous surfaces.

Chemical Stability Limits

Luminol degrades rapidly once dissolved, so mixed reagent must be used within hours and stored in darkness to retain chemiluminescent intensity. The dry powder remains viable longer but loses sensitivity if exposed to humidity or elevated temperature during storage.

Simple Field Preparation

Officers add the measured powder to a suitable solvent and shake until fully dissolved, a process that takes minutes with basic labware. Common errors include using contaminated water, preparing batches too far in advance, or failing to shield the mixture from ambient light before application.
