In 1994 we field tested our immunomarker and found it to be superior to DayGlo dust marking. Another problem we encountered with DayGlo dust was that it was not visible to the naked eye 12 h after marking. Therefore, examining individuals for the presence of DayGlo dust was more time consuming, expensive, and laborious than our marking immunoassay. However, the ultimate usefulness of any marker is that it is reliable. Again, our marking immunoassay proved to be more precise than the DayGlo dust marking procedure.
