Detection of latent fingermarks on thermal printer paper by dry contact with 1,2-indanedione

A new method for the detection of latent fingermarks on thermal paper by dry contact with 1,2-indanedione, which reacts with the amino acids present to give coloured, photo luminescent prints is described. The simple and reliable method is based on contact between the thermal paper sample and reagen...
