The ability to study and measure the spread and distribution of firearms discharge particles on the victim or on an object can be useful in determining the distance and angle of firearms discharge. Although the traditional methods of examining visible particles are useful, smaller particles and condensed gases are generally not observable. A chemical method of detection and enhancement allows these particles and condensed lead gases to first turn a pink color and then a blue color for accurate determinations.

Contains all reagents needed. Eight sets pre-measured reagents in spray bottles, with Instructions For Use. > More

A portable laboratory for rapid ID of bullet holes. The identification of bullet holes and marks produced by projectiles is very important in the investigation of criminal cases. Bullet holes are usually characterized by the presence of metals, mainly lead and copper, originating from the bullet’s outer surface and inner core. This kit utilizes chemical reagents for the detection of metals deposited by the presence of bullets. This kit is capable of determining direction from which the bullet was fired, the caliber of the projectile, and the identification of many types of bullets. > More

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

SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) tests are conducted through analysis of the residues which have been collected on sticky metal stubs. This kit comes in either a 2 stub or 4 stub application and includes instructions, gloves, security seals and a plastic box. > 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

Specifically designed for quick, easy, effective field testing of gunshot powder residue. This field test kit is for the detection of nitrite containing residues typical to gun powder residues. > 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
