The article highlights the problems of identification, fixation and study of handprints of varying degrees of latency by chemical methods. The modern technical means used for realization of the specified methods are reviewed. The focus is on the chemicals used to detect latent handprints, namely ninhydrin, alloxan, silver nitrate, cyanoacrylate, lumicyano, curcumin, features of their preparation and application. Recently proposed small particle reagents are considered, which include a suspension of a sparingly soluble substance such as gray molybdenum disulfide MoS2 or for dark surfaces zinc carbonate ZnCO3, detergent, fluorescent or intensely colored dyes. These reagents are suitable for use on various surfaces (metal, paper, plastic, etc.) that are wet or semi-wet, or have been in contact with water for a long time. The mechanism of using the components of such compositions on handprints includes several types of interactions, one of which is the hydrophobic interaction of organic dyes or reagents with the lipid component of handprints, and the second type involves the formation of ion-association complexes between amino groups of amino acids and anionic organic dyes.
