Crime Scene Basic Latent Fingerprint Kit – Bichromatic Grey Powder

Overview

The Crime Scene Basic Latent Fingerprint Kit is a practical, classroom-friendly introduction to latent print collection. Featuring a bichromatic grey powder that enhances ridge visibility, it delivers a clear, hands-on learning experience without requiring specialized lab infrastructure. The kit pairings include a gentle, extra-soft fiberglass brush for delicate lifts and a complete set of backing cards and lifting tape to mirror authentic workflows. Packaged in a heavy-duty carry case, all components stay organized and portable, ready for demonstrations, lab sessions, or independent practice. While crafted for educational use and priced with schools in mind, the kit offers a realistic, real-world feel that helps students move from concept to practice with confidence.
