Perception Gunshot Residue (GSR)

Image of a scientist preparing a gunshot residue sample

Gunshot residue analysis (GSR) is performed to determine if a firearm has been used in a crime. Automated Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) is an established technique to search for these GSR particles. Typically this technique is used to search for the presence of Pb, Ba, Sb particles but Pb-free primers do exist so being able to look for Ti and Zn is a requirement as well.

Perception GSR, is the first dedicated solution that can run automated GSR analysis. Quickly obtain reliable and accurate results from even miniscule pieces of evidence with an included calibration sample. As a system designed for ease of use, the ParticleX GSR is the perfect tool for your forensic lab and any additional trace analysis.
