Fingerprints are a useful source of evidence in establishing the identity of the person and hold large importance in crime scene investigations. A diverse range of physical and chemical methods are available for the development of latent fingerprints, but limited work is done on detection of prints from wet non-porous surfaces. The study aimed at developing a novel method for identification of latent fingerprints from such a type of surface. Small Particle Reagent was prepared using non-toxic chemicals and was proven to be effective in detecting latent fingerprints on Aluminum Foil. Fluorescent component, Basic Yellow-40 dye was used in the formulation. The Shelf life of the SPR solution was also considered an important factor in the study and was found to be 25 days.
