Luminol Powder ≥99% | Chemiluminescent Reagent – 5G

Description

Luminol Powder (≥99% purity) is a highly sensitive chemiluminescent compound widely used in forensic analysis, biochemical assays, and laboratory research. It emits a blue glow when it reacts with oxidizing agents, making it essential for crime scene investigations, blood detection, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Luminol is also utilized in educational demonstrations, chemical experiments, and glow-in-the-dark reactions.

Applications of Luminol Powder:

Forensic & Crime Scene Investigation

• Blood Detection: Reacts with iron in hemoglobin, causing a visible blue glow.
• Crime Scene Analysis: Used by law enforcement and forensic labs for detecting trace blood evidence.
• Fingerprint & Footprint Detection: Enhances latent impressions on crime scene surfaces.

Laboratory & Research Applications

• Biochemical Assays: Used in luminol-based chemiluminescent assays (ELISA, Western blotting).
• Oxidation Reactions: Studies the presence of peroxidases, transition metals, and free radicals.
• Medical & Pharmaceutical Research: Investigates cellular oxidation, immunoassays, and enzymatic reactions.

Industrial & Scientific Applications

• Glow-in-the-Dark Reactions: Used in science demonstrations and educational experiments.
• Chemical Testing: Identifies reactive oxygen species (ROS) in biological and industrial systems.
• Hydrogen Peroxide Detection: Helps detect peroxide-based reactions in analytical chemistry.

Environmental & Water Testing

• Pollution & Contaminant Detection: Used in water quality assessments to detect oxidative contaminants.
• Biological Tracing: Monitors microbial activity in wastewater and environmental samples.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
• Keep in light-resistant, airtight containers.
