THERMANIN

FINGERPRINTS ON THERMAL PAPER


ThermaNin is a ninhydrin derivative for developing fingerprints on thermal
paper. Regular ninhydrin and DFO solutions are either based on polar solvents
(like acetone or ether) or contain them. These turn the top (active) layer of
thermal paper gray or black. Japanese researchers have published that hemiketals
of ninhydrin are soluble in petroleum ether (or other apolar solvents like
pentane, heptane) without the need for addition of polar solvents. These
solutions develop fingerprints on thermal paper without darkening of the
surface.

MANUAL OF USE FOR THERMANIN


INTRODUCTION

Thermal paper, once mainly used as fax paper only, is now used in many
applications. These days it is used in ticket dispensers for giving out waiting
number or parking tickets, in label printers, and printers for point-of-sales
receipts at retail shops like supermarkets.

Thermal paper turns black on application of heat (as in the printer) but also on
contact with polar solvents like alcohols, acetone, ether, ethyl acetate etc.
The regular solutions of fingerprint reagents like ninhydrin and DFO are either
based on a polar solvent (ninhydrin in ether or acetone for example) or rely on
certain amounts of these polar solvents to dissolve them when used in an apolar
bulk solvent like petroleum ether or heptane.

These solutions have a detrimental effect on thermal paper: on application the
paper surface turns dark grey or black thereby obscuring any fingerprints that
may subsequently develop.


TECHNIQUES FOR DEVELOPING FINGERPRINTS ON THERMAL PAPER

There are a number of techniques known for developing fingerprints on thermal
paper:

 * 1,2-IND has been reported in several publications [1-3] to develop
   fingerprints without darkening the top (active) layer of the thermal paper.
   For finding and photographing the developed prints a Polilight or similar
   light source is needed.
 * DMAC (dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde) fumes react with fingerprints on thermal
   paper [4]. The fluorescence of any developed prints can be photographed with
   green light (Polilight, around 530 nm).
 * Exposure to the fumes of concentrated hydrochlorid acid was reported to
   develop prints on the top layer of thermal paper [5]. It will not develop
   prints on the back of thermal paper.
 * Rinsing away the thermal layer with acetone first and then treat with a
   regular ninhydrin solution. Alternatively treating the items with ninhydrin
   solution and after allowing ample time for development of fingerprints,
   rinsing the paper with an excess of acetone to remove all the text and/or
   grey-black stains. [6]
 * Ninhydrin sublimation in a vacuum [7].
 * Application of low-temperature heat [8a-c].

These techniques may not be appropriate, or the additional equipment needed not
available.

Japanese researchers have published [9] that hemiketals of ninhydrin, obtained
by exchanging the water molecule in ninhydrin [also known as 1,2,3-indantrione
monohydrate] for an alcohol, are soluble in apolar solvents like petroleum ether
without the need for addition of polar solvents. The solutions were reported to
develop fingerprints on thermal paper, without darkening of the surface.
Such a product is ThermaNin.

To our knowledge, the effectiveness of the different techniques has not been
compared.


HOW DOES THERMANIN WORK

ThermaNin will not develop any fingerprints by itself. The process relies on the
fact that after application of its solution to paper, ThermaNin will readily
convert to ninhydrin and the alcohol upon contact with water present in the
paper or in the atmosphere. This conversion can be detected from the weak odor
of the alcohol that will be given off by the paper afterwards. The ninhydrin
will then be available to react with any fingerprint residue in the paper. The
ninhydrin will not dissolve in petroleum ether, so the paper can be dipped twice
(with a certain waiting time in between, to allow for the conversion of the
ninhydrin hemiketal to ninhydrin and alcohol) to increase the ninhydrin
concentration in the paper.


MANUAL OF USE

Due to the sensitivity of ninhydrin hemiketals (like ThermaNin) towards water,
their solutions in petroleum ether cannot be stored long without degrading the
performance. A working solution should be used soon, at least within 1-3 weeks.
Therefore, we cannot supply working solutions, they should be made fresh when
needed. The ThermaNin crystals that we supply are fairly resistant to
atmospheric humidity and have no apparent shelf life when stored in tightly
sealed containers.

A working solution that takes not too long to prepare, by dissolving the
ThermaNin powder in petroleum ether/pentane or heptane by shaking (for 5-10
minutes), contains 4 gram per liter (or 0.4 gram per 100 ml). Slight warming of
the solution (till around 30-40° C) will aid the dissolution of the ThermaNin
powder considerably. Adding 0.5 ml of isopropanol (and optionally 1.5 ml of
ethyl acetate) per 100 ml of solution helps a lot too (see further for notes on
stability).

Contrary to our expectations, ThermaNin was found to have a very low solubility
in HFE-7100. Therefore working solutions of ThermaNin cannot be made in HFE-7100
alone. However, preliminary experiments [July 2004] indicate that stable
solutions, even in glass bottles, can be made by adding 0.5% isopropanol and
1.5% ethylacetate as co-solvents. This solution does not color the active layer
of thermal paper.

A working solution can be made quickly, by weighing 0.4 to 0.5 gram of Thermanin
and adding this to an empty 100 ml bottle (glass or aluminium). Adding 0.5 ml of
isopropanol and 1.5 ml of ethylacetate will dissolve the Thermanin, subsequently
dilute to 100 ml by adding the HFE7100.

German researchers at the BKA in Wiesbaden found that for dissolving,
application and storage of working solutions of ninhydrin hemiketals either
plastic or aluminium containers should be used, with a strong preference for
aluminium. Generally speaking petroleum ether etc. diffuses out of plastic
bottles and water in, aluminium does not have this problem.

In glass bottles the shelf life of the working solutions is drastically
shortened. This is probably due to the small amount of water adhering to the
walls and the slightly acidic nature of the glass surface (accelerates the
reaction between water and ThermaNin). However, adding 0.5% of isopropanol (5 ml
per liter) stabilizes the solution without negative effects on the thermal
paper.

Development of the fingerprints can be done in the usual manner: at room
temperature, in the dark and elevated humidity (around 80% is preferred).
Because of the nature of thermal paper heating of the paper to accelerate
development of the prints is not possible: the paper will turn dark.
Because of the sensitivity of the paper for polar solvents, treatment of the
thermal paper with zinc chloride is not an option either.

A stable working solution, even in glass bottles, has the following composition:
 
4-5 g ThermaNin crystals
5 ml   isopropanol
15 ml   ethyl acetate (optional for petroleum ether/heptane based solutions)
980 ml   petroleum ether (60-80°), heptane, or HFE-7100
--------
1000 ml working solution


SAFETY

On contact with water ThermaNin will readily fall apart in ninhydrin and
alcohol. Therefore, the safety characteristics of the product can be judged from
those components. Ninhydrin is considered harmful if swallowed and irritating to
eyes, skin and respiratory system; the alcohol as a skin and eye irritant. The
precautions taken when working with ninhydrin (protective clothing, gloves,
safety glasses when working with the solutions) will be sufficient for this
product too.
