Hungarian Red – Professional Blood Stain Enhancement Solution
Our professional Hungarian Red provides a highly sensitive solution for the enhancement of latent fingerprints and footwear impressions made in blood. Forensic investigators and laboratory technicians use this specialised staining reagent to process both porous and non-porous surfaces. Consequently, this solution serves as an essential tool for revealing critical ridge detail and tread patterns that are otherwise faint or invisible.
Superior Visualisation and Lifting
Hungarian Red is a water-based dye that reacts with the proteins found in blood. Because it creates a vibrant red stain, it offers excellent visual contrast on light-coloured substrates.
- Gel Lifting Compatibility: One of the primary advantages of this solution is its compatibility with gel lifters. You can easily lift the processed marks from the original surface for further analysis.
- Fluorescent Examination: Once you have transferred the mark to a gel lifter, you can examine it using an Alternative Light Source (ALS). The dye fluoresces brightly under green light (515–560nm).
- Zero Background Interference: By lifting the mark, you eliminate distracting background patterns or textures. Therefore, you can capture high-resolution photographic evidence with perfect clarity.
Professional Application Process
To achieve the best results, you should apply the Hungarian Red solution to the dried blood proteins.
- Simple Application: You can apply the reagent by spraying, dipping, or using a wash bottle.
- Fixing the Evidence: We recommend using a protein fixative before staining to ensure the blood pattern remains stable during the wash process.
- Versatile Substrates: This process works effectively on various surfaces, including PVC, painted wood, and smooth metal.
Safety and Laboratory Standards
While Hungarian Red is a safe, water-based formulation, you should always handle forensic chemicals in a controlled environment. Use a tray to contain any runoff and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to avoid staining your skin. Furthermore, store the solution in a cool, dark place to maintain its chemical integrity for future investigations.
