LATENT BLOODSTAIN REAGENT
UNIQUE FORENSIC
BLUESTAR® is the #1 blood detection reagent trusted by crime scene investigators in over 100 countries.
Its powerful luminol-based formula reveals even the most elusive blood traces, cleaned, washed, or aged, with unmatched sensitivity.
With a detection threshold as low as 1 in 100,000, BLUESTAR® reveals bloodstains invisible to the naked eye without damaging DNA, even on clothing that’s been washed multiple times.

When sprayed onto a suspected bloodstain, BLUESTAR® immediately reacts with the iron in hemoglobin present in red blood cells, generating an intense blue chemiluminescence clearly visible in semidarkness.
Unlike traditional luminol-based products, BLUESTAR® provides a longer-lasting reaction, allowing investigators ample time to easily photograph and document the revealed bloodstain without special equipment.
BLUESTAR® is non-toxic, odorless, stable over time, and extremely easy to prepare: simply dissolve the tablets in distilled water, swirl, and spray.
Discover how the unmatched convenience of BLUESTAR® can enhance your next investigation in the field or in the lab.
