Crime Scene Luminol Powder (Makes 8 oz of Glowing Solution) | Chemiluminescence Reagent for Science Experiments | Forensic Chemistry & Educational STEM Demonstrations | Just Add Water

Product Information

About

Luminol is the classic chemical used by forensic investigators to find unseen clues. How does it work? It’s all about a fascinating process called chemiluminescence. When the Luminol solution is sprayed on a surface containing iron (like the hemoglobin found in trace amounts of blood), it undergoes a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of a cool, eerie blue glow.
Each vial contains enough powdered luminol to easily mix with water, creating 8 ounces of solution.
How to Use: Add one vial of Luminol powder to eight ounces of water in a small spray bottle and mix gently. When sprayed on surfaces where a reaction is possible, you'll observe a bright, ethereal glow, revealing the hidden chemistry at play.
When sprayed on surfaces where dried blood is evident, the luminol will make the blood patterns appear a bright green.
Use within 20 minutes after mixing in a total dark area.

Bring the excitement of a real crime lab right into your classroom or home with our Luminol Powder Science Kit! If you've ever wanted to show your students a chemical reaction that seems like magic, this is the perfect experiment.Luminol is the classic chemical used by forensic investigators to find unseen clues. How does it work? It’s all about a fascinating process called chemiluminescence. When the Luminol solution is sprayed on a surface containing iron (like the hemoglobin found in trace amounts of blood), it undergoes a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of a cool, eerie blue glow.This kit makes it easy and safe to explore this amazing scientific principle.Your Next Science Fair Project:This Luminol kit provides a perfect starting point for an award-winning project. Students can design experiments to test:How long the glow lasts.What other common substances (like bleach or certain metals) might also cause a reaction.The effects of temperature on the brightness of the glow.What's Included:Each vial contains 9 grams of Luminol powder, enough to create 8 ounces of testing solution. For a complete experiment, we recommend using it with synthetic blood (sold separately) to ensure a safe and controlled demonstration.Safety First!This experiment is a fantastic learning opportunity, but safety is key. It must be conducted under direct adult supervision. Always wear safety goggles and gloves when handling and mixing the chemicals.
