Blood or bodily fluids.
Luminol is a common chemical used to detect blood that has been wiped from a surface. It reacts with the iron present in hemoglobin to produce a blue glow, making bloodstains visible even after they have been cleaned or wiped away.
The chemical reagent that makes blood glow luminously is luminol. When it reacts with the iron present in hemoglobin, it produces a blue light that is visible in dark conditions. Luminol is often used in forensic investigations to detect blood at crime scenes.
The concentration of the luminol stock solution is approximately 22.7 M.
The luminol reaction is an example of "chemiluminescence". This is when a chemical reaction yields a product in an electronically excited state (at least one electron in the product is at a level above the ground state). The excited product loses energy in the form of a photon of light when the electron drops to the ground state level. In the case of luminol the reaction is an oxidation under alkaline conditions and the reaction stops when either all the luminol, all the oxidising agent or all the alkali has been converted
Other chemicals that can act as catalysts for the luminol reaction include hemoglobin and horseradish peroxidase. These catalysts can enhance the chemiluminescence produced when luminol reacts with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of an appropriate metal ion.

The basic idea of luminol is to reveal blood traces with a light producing chemical reaction between several chemicals and hemoglobin.
they use luminol spray and an ultra violet light
Luminol is a chemical that can be used to detect blood even when it has been wiped clean. It reacts with the iron found in hemoglobin, producing a blue glow which indicates the presence of blood.

Luminol is a common chemical used to detect blood that has been wiped from a surface. It reacts with the iron present in hemoglobin to produce a blue glow, making bloodstains visible even after they have been cleaned or wiped away.
Investigators may spray a crime scene with hydrochloric acid (HCl) before using luminol to help remove any potential contaminants or residues that could interfere with the reaction of luminol with blood. This ensures a clean surface for the luminol to detect any hidden blood traces effectively.
In Season 6, Episode 7 of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation titled "A Bullet Runs Through It, Part 1," luminol is used to detect blood in a crime scene. The forensic team sprays luminol on a crime scene and discovers blood spatter patterns that help them piece together what happened.
Luminol is a common chemical used to detect blood at a crime scene. It reacts with the iron in hemoglobin, causing a blue glow under UV light. This can help investigators identify blood even if it has been cleaned or hidden.
The chemical reagent that makes blood glow luminously is luminol. When it reacts with the iron present in hemoglobin, it produces a blue light that is visible in dark conditions. Luminol is often used in forensic investigations to detect blood at crime scenes.
Luminol was discovered by German chemist Heinrich Caro in 1908.
