LumiSTAR is a high-performance chemiluminescent reagent specifically designed for forensic detection of latent bloodstains. Upon contact with blood, it emits a bright green or blue glow, easily visible to the naked eye — no need for a completely dark environment.
This water-based, non-toxic reagent is ready to use with no complicated mixing required, and does not damage DNA, making it ideal for both field and laboratory investigations. LumiSTAR enables rapid screening of crime scenes involving homicide, assault, or accidents, especially where only trace amounts of blood are present.
Key Features
Ultra-High Sensitivity
Detects blood diluted up to 1:100,000 times, far beyond traditional luminol-based reagents.
Bright Visible Luminescence
Emits green or blue light visible without full darkness, ideal for photo documentation.
Ready-to-Use Formulation
No mixing or activation needed — just spray and detect.
Fast Reaction Time
Immediate luminescent reaction upon contact with blood or hemoglobin.
Safe & DNA-Friendly
Water-based, non-toxic, and does not interfere with DNA profiling.
Versatile Surface Compatibility
Works on dark or light surfaces, including fabric, wood, tile, and carpet.
