Description

1,8-Diazafluoren-9-one (DFO) is a chemical that is used to find fingerprints on porous surfaces. 1,8-Diazafluoren-9-one reacts with amino acids present in the fingerprint to form highly fluorescent derivatives (Ex/Em = ~470/570).

In Vitro

1,2-indanedione (1,2-IND) and 1,8-diazafluoren-9-one (DFO) are used in the forensic field to enhance latent fingerprints deposited on porous surfaces due to the formation of fluorescent products by reacting with the amino acids present in the papillary exudate. DFO has been the most used because of its excellent enhancing properties, even if it is more expensive and relatively toxic in comparison with the 1,2-IND[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
