Sirchie Gunpowder Particle Detection Kit

The Sirchie Gunpowder Particle Detection Kit provides a sensitive and specific method for the detection of nitrite particles at the crime scene. The sensitivity of the test eliminates the possibility of omission and error attending visual examination of the crime scene. By utilizing this kit, it is possible to distinguish between close-range and distant firearm discharge. Close-range firing and approximate distances can be determined by the powder tattooing on the body or clothing of the victim. After the development of nitrite particles, test paper should be photographed for a permanent record of particle dispersion.
