A Comparative Study of Fluorescent Dyes for TLC Detection of Arson Accelerants: Identifying a safer alternative to Rhodamine B

Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) is a most widely used technique in arson investigations and Rhodamine B is the commonly used fluorescent dye in this technique due to its strong fluorescence but it have chemical hazard concerns. This study explores Eosin Yellow, Rose Bengal, Fluorescein Sodium, and Coumarin as potential substitutes, assessing their fluorescence, stability, and detection efficiency. The objective is to find a safer yet equally effective alternative for forensic applications.

Abstract

Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) is a most widely used technique in arson investigations and Rhodamine B is the commonly used fluorescent dye in this technique due to its strong fluorescence but it have chemical hazard concerns. This study explores Eosin Yellow, Rose Bengal, Fluorescein Sodium, and Coumarin as potential substitutes, assessing their fluorescence, stability, and detection efficiency. The objective is to find a safer yet equally effective alternative for forensic applications.
