Forensic latent-print powder

The Sirchie 2oz Dual Purpose "HI-FI" Latent Print Powder in Black is a versatile oxide-based powder designed for forensic science and crime scene investigations. It is ideally suited for application on oxide surfaces such as painted wood, metal, and most plastics. This product serves both seasoned professionals and beginners in the field.

Fluorescent compound under UV light

A unique formulation containing a fluorescent compound allows the powder to glow when exposed to ultraviolet light. This capability enhances the visibility of latent fingerprints on multi-coloured backgrounds during sustained examination. The fluorescence aids detection and analysis where standard powders might struggle with surface contrast.

Replaces standard non-fluorescent powders

This powder upgrades from conventional latent print powders that lack a fluorescent additive. The jump is worth it when investigators regularly process multi-coloured or patterned surfaces where enhanced contrast under UV light is required. It is not for buyers who need a magnetic applicator or a powder formulated specifically for non-oxide substrates.

Questions about this item

Does the 2oz container of Sirchie HI-FI powder produce noticeable dust or fumes during all-day crime scene processing?

The oxide-based formulation is designed for controlled application on surfaces like painted wood and metal, minimising airborne particles during extended use.

What additional equipment is required to activate the fluorescent compound in this latent print powder?

An ultraviolet (UV) light source is needed to make the powder glow, revealing prints on multi-coloured backgrounds where standard contrast is insufficient.

Can this powder be used effectively on older evidence items that have been stored on oxide-based materials for years?

Yes, the versatile oxide-based powder adheres to latent residues on painted wood, metal, and most plastics regardless of the evidence age.
