Innovating Science 15g Luminol Powder Reagent Used in Forensic Investigation - Makes 250mL of Luminol Spray

Used distilled water, works

We purchased this product in hopes it would give us answers as to where my brother fell and hit his head and passed away. It was pouring rain when he was found, there was lots of blood, but it was washed away by the rain. We sprayed the luminal where he was. We only used a quarter of the solution, and the spray bottle would not work anymore. Nothing every glowed blue and it should have. We were very disappointed and did not get any closure. THIS PRODUCT DID NOT WORK.

Value

The luminol worked exactly as expected. My only complaint was that the spray bottle didn’t actually SPRAY. It kept getting clogged, which forced me to have to transfer it to another spray bottle. Honestly, if this couldn’t have been refrigerated, it would have been a waste.

It works as intended

Verified location of where my pet was shot to death by a neighbor. To avoid frustration, mix in a standard sprayer and apply using mist setting. Included sprayer did not work. Glow only lasted for a short duration, maybe 10 seconds or so. It could be my circumstances but I was applying to an area around 6 days after the incident.

Used it to teach part of a forensic scince class at my high school

The spray bottle wouldn’t spray. It leaked all over my hands and surfaces that we were trying to spray. I measured and mixed properly but the mixture still did not glow on a spot of blood used as a control to determine if the luminol actually worked. This was a waste of money.
