Using their own prints, students will learn to identify and classify fingerprints according to the standard classification system. They will then learn to dust and lift latent prints from a variety of surfaces. Finally, using real-world chemical techniques, they will develop prints using ninhydrin, cyanoacrylate, and iodine from surfaces such as paper, plastic, and glass.

This kit comes complete with ink pads, fingerprint cards, hand lenses and rulers, black carbon fingerprint powder, camel hair fingerprint brushes, filter paper, gloves, ninhydrin, cyanoacrylate, iodine, and more (enough materials for a class of 32 students).
