The Sirchie Hi-Fi Volcano Latent Fingerprint Powder is a black oxide powder for developing latent (non-visible) prints on nonporous surfaces such as painted wood, metal, and most plastics. The black color of the powder enhances contrast with light-colored surfaces. The powder adheres to oily or moist deposits, particularly sebaceous secretions that may contaminate the fingertips. It produces optimal results on newer prints found on dry, smooth, non-adhesive surfaces. Excess powder can be removed using a duster (sold separately). The jar contains a 2oz. (59mL) volume of powder. Fingerprint powders are used in forensic investigations and classroom demonstrations to develop and collect fingerprint evidence.
Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.
Sirchie manufactures criminal investigation and forensic science products. The company, founded in 1927, is headquartered in Youngsville, NC.

This latent fingerprint powder glides on and precisely sticks to fingerprints, skin oils, and DNA. The product is as described... yet the photo is slightly misleading. The image includes multiple containers, yet the product is actually only one plastic container of latent fingerprint powder. My question is: do fingerprint and DNA experts know how to separate the DNA from multiple people (for example: if I am collecting fingerprints and DNA without gloves and it gets on the tape, and there is someone else's DNA or fingerprints on the collection tape, how will they know the difference... hmmm...)? :p I recommend this product.

I bought this for a grandson when the fingerprint powder that came with a detective kit he was given for his birthday didn't show fingerprints well. This powder did the trick.

Worked well for demonstrating the lifting of latent fingerprints for Boy Scouts taking the Boy Scout Fingerprinting Merit Badge. It is a bit messy, so protect the area you are using it in... and cleanup afterwards.

I ordered this because the brand is industry standard, but I almost would have preferred a lighter, less sticky, powder. I don't have enough experience to criticize, and it also might have been my fiberglass brush responsible. This is a good product that does the job, but my brush picked up way too much powder each time no matter how little I put into the tray. Perhaps humidity had a role too. I won't take any stars off for the sticky performance, because it also handily stuck to fingerprints, but this powder probably requires a smaller and lighter brush than the zephyr fiberglass brush I ordered to use with it.

I never opened this product because there was a "WARNING: H351 Suspected of causing cancer.." message on this 2 oz Jar of "Sirchie Hi-Fi Volcano Latent Fingerprint Powder" which was supposed to be used for my child's science project. It would have been extremely helpful to have this warning on this Amazon site's product description and picture since it would have saved me time by NOT purchasing it !.

I'm really into forensic science and was excited to be able to dust for fingerprints. At first I was a little disappointed because I didn't realize how small 2oz. really is, but it ended up lasting a lot longer than I had expected. Secondly, it does stain, but of course I'm not going to give it a bad rating because of that (unlike some people), I'm just putting that out there so everybody knows. I have since ordered it a second time, and would definitely recommend it.
