Designed for easy preparation and application, this lab-quality misting sprayer activates instantly, making it perfect for demonstrations and forensic analysis. ## Description Luminol is a highly sensitive blood reagent used to detect latent bloodstain evidence, usually associated with a clean up subsequent to a bloodletting event. A strong steady chemiluminescent (Low blue light production) reaction takes place when the luminol formula is applied to blood, even in very trace amounts. Luminol must be used in total darkness for best results since the reaction produces light. This Luminol formula has been used extensively in forensic applications and is well documented in forensic literature. It has successfully detected latent blood evidence over 36 months old. This kit is designed for error proof mixing at the scene to ensure the highest sensitivity of the reagent. Luminol should be used immediately after mixing since the sensitivity will diminish within 2 hours after mixing. To Use: Apply luminol mist to suspected blood. If blood is present a Chemiluminessence, (Low blue light) is visible. The reaction appears brighter when viewed in total darkness. Review: You actually don't have to use the whole thing in one go - Worked excellently. I bought this because I was spitting out blood all the time. The times where I could taste blood but not see it in my sputum made me wonder if blood was really there. I needed to collect some empirical evidence to convince myself, and my doctors, that I really did have blood in my spit even though one couldn't see it. And that, this blood was nearly always present. The problem, though, with the spray kit is that one is led to believe that one needs to use the entire kit in one go. You don't need to. I was able to do some calculations to weigh out proportional amounts of liquid to dry chemicals to create the right concentration of liquid. However, in doing this, I eventually found that one could just simply guess and eye ball it. The resulting solution is still able to detect blood very well. So far, I've made 10+ small amounts of luminol solutions of various concentrations (I've been mostly doing it by eyeballing the measured amounts). They all work well with detecting trace amounts of blood from a known sample (pin prick on my knuckles swiped on a dish). I just use about half a teaspoon of liquid and maybe 20 flakes of luminol. I stir it up, and then I started testing my sputum for blood. So, luminol glows more or less depending on the concentration of the blood in the solution. If there are trace amounts of blood in a large amount of liquid with some luminol, the solution will glow faintly. If there is trace amounts of blood in no amount of liquid except the luminol solution, it will grow brighter. Hence, the glow's intensity is based on concentration of blood. Regardless, if there is no blood, it will not glow. So, I tested a control sample, my wife's spit. It didn't glow at all. I tested my spit, it was glowing very faintly, but it was definitely glowing compared to control. When I spit with slight streaks of blood, the glow from the added luminol was much brighter and noticeable, as per earlier paragraph. This was the evidence I needed to convince myself that there was definitely blood in my spit even though I could not see it. Anyways, I still have a lot of luminol left. I will probably use it again for future experiments. And, the good news is, I finally located the source of the blood in my spit (which took me 6 months to figure out). It wasn't something like cancer, thank goodness, but gum disease around one tooth/crown. After I've been cleaning it out twice a day with light flossing, it has stopped streaking blood along the floss. And, I no longer see blood in my spit. But, we'll see. I'll give it a month and a dentist appt. to really be sure. Review: Excellent Product, Accurate Results - I purchased Luminol and blacklight flashlight from desertcart. Used this product for blood detection. Took q-tips dipped in distilled water and rubbed on blood spotted garment and did side by side comparison with untainted q-tips. In photo blue green effervescent glow indicates positive reaction to blood stain. ## Features - Exact formula used worldwide by Crime Scene Investigators - Perfect for Demonstrations, Complete ready to use kit - Easy to prepare and use, Lab quality misting sprayer - Mix immediately prior to use; Luminol reagent has a short reactive life ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005DSFQJ4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #568,824 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #995 in Analytical Reagents | | Brand | Pioneer Forensics, LLC | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (83) | | Date First Available | July 23, 2011 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 2 ounces | | Item model number | PFLUM2OZ | | Manufacturer | Pioneer Forensics, LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | PFLUM2OZ | | Product Dimensions | 1.5 x 1.5 x 5 inches | | Size | 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) | ## Images ![Luminol Spray, 2 Oz. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nsSIY2-lL.jpg) ![Luminol Spray, 2 Oz. - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+oz7l9uzL.jpg) ![Luminol Spray, 2 Oz. - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91tvD2DiReL.jpg) ![Luminol Spray, 2 Oz. - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91UupqHM6zL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: kit with luminal and black light** A: Luminol produces its own luminescence and does not require a black light. **Q: Can it be used to detect fecal blood** A: Yes, any trace amount will be detected.

Used this product for blood detection. Took q-tips dipped in distilled water and rubbed on blood spotted garment and did side by side comparison with untainted q-tips. In photo blue green effervescent glow indicates positive reaction to blood stain. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked fine and fast shipping *by A***. on March 11, 2013* I used this for a Forensic Science class. I demonstrated the Luminol using cow blood (from a steak) with no problem. The only think I was a little surprised on was that once you mix the solution, it's only good for about 8 hours. It says that right on the bottle, but I don't think it said that on the Amazon description. But you could always just mix part of it at a time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/70156382-luminol-spray-2-oz](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/70156382-luminol-spray-2-oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
