Abstrakt: A systematic evaluation of a number of protein dyes for the enhancement of blood contaminated fingerprints on a range of typical surfaces found at scenes of crime was carried out. Two of these, acid violet 17 and benzoxanthene yellow, proved to be potentially valuable enhancers of blood-contaminated fingerprints. Acid violet 17 gives daylight visible enhancement and is a possible alternative to amido black (the dye currently recommended by PSDB for the enhancement of blood-contaminated fingerprints). Benzoxanthene yellow makes bloody fingerprints fluoresce and may be used on nonporous surfaces. It is especially effective on dark, non-fluorescing, nonporous surfaces where it may be difficult to visualize blood stained with amido black or acid violet 17. Further trials would be necessary before these dyes could be recommended for operational use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
