Forensic powder for law enforcement training

Safariland 1oz Bichromatic Magnetic Powder 165 is a forensic consumable designed for law-enforcement and self-defence training. Its innovative bichromatic formula adapts to surface colour, showing black on light backgrounds and silver on dark ones. This single product replaces the need for separate black and silver powders in the field.

1oz container covers routine casework

The 1oz container supplies enough magnetic powder for routine latent-print work during training sessions or active investigations. It handles standard dusting tasks on a variety of surfaces but will require replenishment for high-volume labs or extended field deployments.

Works with standard magnetic applicators

The powder is applied with a conventional magnetic wand and lifts onto white backing cards only, removing the requirement for multiple card colours. It integrates into existing forensic kits without extra hardware, freeing up kit space previously occupied by separate powder jars.

Questions about this item

Will the bichromatic powder still show clear ridge detail on a light surface where I already use standard black powder?

Yes, the bichromatic formula appears black on light surfaces, giving the same high-contrast ridge detail you expect from standard black powder while also working on dark surfaces.

How can I confirm the powder is lifting prints correctly after I apply it with a magnetic wand?

Lifted prints will appear black on a white backing card, providing immediate visual confirmation that the powder is adhering to the latent residue as intended.

Does the 1oz container include a magnetic applicator wand or do I need to purchase one separately?

The container holds only the bichromatic magnetic powder; a magnetic applicator wand and white latent print lift backing cards are required separately.
