This forensic kit contains Luminol which can be used to produce a chemiluminescent (light producing with very little heat) reaction. This reaction will emit a blue glow for about 30 seconds that can be seen in a darkened room. It uses copper as a catalyst, but can also use iron which is found in blood. The reaction only needs very tiny amounts of blood (1 part per million) to work. This is why it is used by forensic investigators to detect trace amounts of blood left at a crime scenes. This kit contains a copper catalyst as well as a safety lancet so you can perform the reaction using your own blood if you so wish. The kit also contains a spray bottle and instructions on how to use it to detect blood as a forensic investigator would.
