Arrowhead is pleased to offer ISid-2 second generation advanced gunshot residue binary test kits. This kit includes everything required to collect GSR evidence from a suspect for both the investigation and for the crime lab. The new design incorporates standard “sticky tab” carbon tape particle collection devices, which meet the requirements of most state crime labs that conduct SEM (scanning electron microscope) testing for GSR. The investigator first sticky tab swabs the suspect according to approved techniques, and then places the tabs into an evidence envelope with evidence tape for delivery to the forensic laboratory. The investigator then dry swabs the suspect with the L.E.T. swab and applies a chemical reagent. A blue reaction on the swab at the 5 min. interval indicates the presence of nitrocellulose. A blue reaction is considered highly probable the suspect has recently fired a weapon. With this new kit, field results can be confirmed in the lab via SEM. > More

The Rapid Identification Friend or Foe (RIFF) kit is a militarized version of ISID, intended primarily for use in military operations in urban terrain (MOUT) to help separate insurgents from noncombatants. The small compact RIFF kit is used for conducting the field test alone. In a matter of minutes one can presumptively identify the presence of gun shot residue. > More

The ability to detect and visualize gunpowder particles on a victim, clothing, or other object can provide valuable investigative information. The distribution, density, and physical characteristics of powder particles can often reveal the distance and angle of discharge. This information can assist in distinguishing between homicide and suicide and can often discredit a suspect’s version of the incident. The Gunpowder Particle Detection Kit provides all of the chemical reagents and supplies required to perform a very sensitive test to detect and visualize the nitrates contained in these minute powder particles. Kit contains eight complete sets of gunpowder detection reagents, gunpowder detection paper, gunpowder particle collection sheets, spray bottles, and complete instructions contained in a plastic case. > More

Latent prints can sometimes be developed on brass, nickel and copper cartridges cases by means of Cyanoacrylate fuming, etching with a Gun Blueing Solution and post-treament with Acidified Peroxide. The principle behind this sequence is that the person handling the cartridge casing will transfer a latent print containing lipids or sebaceous oils to the casing and additionally may transfer other substances, such as lubricating grease, to the casing. These substances will protect metal surfaces directly beneath them from chemical reaction or etching and may provide for the possibility of development by Cyanoacrylate. > More
