Medium Kit

Compact, Reliable, and Field-Ready (2 Applications)

The BLUESTAR® Forensic Medium Kit provides crime scene investigators with a convenient, easy-to-use solution for detecting invisible blood traces.

Designed for mobility, this kit contains two separate applications (250 ml / 8 oz each) — ideal for active field use.

Simply add the tablets, swirl, and spray. A bright chemiluminescent glow indicates a strong likelihood of blood, even if the stain has been cleaned or is not visible to the naked eye.

BLUESTAR® Forensic reacts to all types of blood.

To determine whether the blood is of human origin, use BLUESTAR® Identi-HEM® or BLUESTAR® OBTI. Final confirmation can then be performed by a forensic laboratory.

Principle

BLUESTAR® Forensic detects minute, erased, or thoroughly washed blood traces even after the use of detergents or at extreme dilutions.
Upon contact with blood, it produces a blue chemiluminescence visible to the naked eye.
It can be applied to all types of surfaces: metal, plastic, fabric, and more.
Crucially, the reaction does not alter DNA and allows for subsequent DNA profiling.

Sensitivity

BLUESTAR® Forensic is more sensitive than traditional blood developers.

It can detect traces of blood at dilutions up to 1:100,000, even on dark or textured surfaces.

Its strong, long-lasting luminescence requires no total darkness and enables excellent photographic or video documentation using standard equipment.

It has even revealed ancient bloodstains, such as 7,000-year-old traces during archaeological research (see publication).

False positives

Some food residues or chemicals may trigger a reaction.

Training is essential to properly recognize a true blood reaction versus a false positive.

We offer BLUESTAR® Forensic Training Tablets for instructional use.
