Sirchie Atomic Absorption Analysis Test Kit for Firearm Discharge Residue, Set of 10 Test

From crime scene investigations to forensic laboratories, the Sirchie Atomic Absorption Analysis Test Kit is a highly sensitive and effective tool for detecting firearm discharge residue. This kit, widely recognized for its precision, is designed to identify traces of barium, antimony, copper, and lead - elements commonly found in ammunition and firearm discharge.

The AAA process, a trusted method for nearly a decade, has been accepted in both federal and state courts as definitive evidence in numerous cases. This process is particularly effective in identifying barium and antimony, elements present in the primers of most United States-made and some European brands of ammunition. Additionally, it can detect copper and lead particles, which typically originate from cartridge cases and projectiles.

Upon the detonation of a cartridge, these elements are deposited on the shooter's hands. The AAA100 kit is designed to swab the entire surface of a suspect's hands, collecting samples for subsequent laboratory analysis.

The extreme sensitivity of Atomic Absorption Analysis necessitates that the swabs, preservation tubes, nitric acid solution, and container included in the AAA100 kit are free from contamination. To ensure this, each of the 10 individual test kits included in the AAA100 set is handled under strictly controlled conditions, minimizing the risk of contamination and ensuring the most accurate results.

Whether you're a professional investigator or a forensic scientist, the Sirchie Atomic Absorption Analysis Test Kit is an essential tool for your firearm discharge residue detection needs.
