Binding to proteinaceous material in blood, Amido Black increases contrast and definition of ridge detail and impression patterns for documentation and identification. It does not react with perspiration-only latent prints where no blood is present, making it specifically appropriate for blood-present forensic examinations. Supplied as a 25g powder in an amber poly bottle, it is dissolved to the validated working concentration before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePowder form gives the laboratory control over concentration, solvent base, and total volume yield that fixed ready-to-use solutions cannot provide.
