BestSolv® Engineered Fluids are the direct replacements for discontinued 3M™ Novec™ solvents. They work as drop-in and exact molecule replacements, allowing forensic labs to continue using proven fingerprint development methods without reworking recipes that use ninhydrin, DFO, and 1,2-indanedione.
Validated by law enforcement agencies on both fresh and aged prints, BestSolv® delivers consistent, court-defensible results. With nonflammable chemistry, low-toxicity, and environmental compliance, BestSolv® fluids also protect your lab team while meeting evolving regulations.
By choosing BestSolv®, you secure a reliable supply, lower costs compared to Novec™, and maintain the continuity your forensic work demands.
