Hemascein®, a non-luminol formulation, is designed to qualitatively reveal latent bloodstains at a crime scene.
This easy to use non-luminol formulation has highest DNA recovery of any luminol containing reagents such as Luminol, Bluestar or Lumiscene. Hemascein does not require complete darkness in ambient light as other reagents do and you can visualize it as long as 10 minutes. Read more
