Product Overview

The Oil Red O Buffer Reagent is a precisely formulated solvent and pH-control solution designed to maximize the staining effectiveness of Oil Red O on porous substrates. It ensures uniform dye distribution, prevents over-penetration of the dye, and helps maintain the structural integrity of delicate evidence materials.

This buffer supports the consistent development of ridge detail, prevents background staining, and improves stability and clarity of developed prints. It is essential for preparing the working solution of Oil Red O and is suitable for use in both field and laboratory settings.


Key Features:

  • Facilitates optimal solubility and performance of Oil Red O -dye
  • Ensures even staining and prevents background discoloration
  • Preserves the quality of fragile or aged paper evidence
  • Formulated for consistency, clarity, and reliability
  • Ready to mix with Oil Red O powder or concentrate for immediate use

Together, Oil Red O and its buffer reagent offer forensic professionals a sensitive and targeted solution for developing latent fingerprints on porous materials—particularly valuable when other residue types are no longer detectable.
