A modified Oil Red O formulation for the detection of latent fingermarks on porous substrates

A simplified procedure for the recently introduced fingermark development reagent Oil Red O (ORO) is presented. This lipid-sensitive reagent offers the potential to detect latent fingermarks on porous substrates that have been exposed to water, which is not possible using the more commonly employed...
