Gun Shot Residue

Presumptive, on the spot testing at crime scenes for trace amounts of residues of nitrates on a suspected shooter's hands. Trace detection can give valuable information as to whether or not an individual has recently fired a weapon.

IDenta Gun Powder Particle Test Kit

This is a fast, reliable field test for detection of trace nitrates found in gunpowder. When a weapon is fired, gunpowder is blown back in the direction of the shooter and trace amounts of these residues are deposited on the shooter's firing hand. Developed in a simple-to-use pouch format, it can be deployed without any specialized training or equipment and results appear in seconds. Complete, easy-to-use.

Our Gunpowder Particle Detection Kit provides all of the chemical reagents and supplies required to perform a very sensitive test to detect and visualize the nitrites contained in these minute powder particles

The GSR-AA/SEM(C) is a combination kit.
