Abstract

Traditionally used fluorescent powders for developing invisible (latent) fingerprints involve complicated operation and show characteristics of auto-fluorescence interference and high toxicity. To overcome these serious drawbacks we report a novel application and facile methodology to extract high contrast fingerprints on non-porous and porous substrates using a chemically inert, visible light excitable, and nanosized SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ phosphorescent label in the dark. The chemistry of non-covalent physisorption interaction between the long afterglow phosphor powder and sweat residue in fingerprints has been discussed in detail. Real-time fingerprint development on porous and non-porous substrates has also been performed.
