Luminol is used in crime scene investigations, which show luminescence when reacting with blood.

In this regard, Luminol has several advantages, for example, it reacts with blood without mixing
with any other oxidant, which detects small amounts of it even if it is many years old, even if the
surface was cleaned.

However, it also has certain disadvantages, such as that blood is not the only one that reacts,
another is that Luminol has an expiration date of only a few hours, in addition to being very
expensive.

In conclusion, because luminol has certain disadvantages in detecting blood, researchers will
probably use other methods more for its identification.
