Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the effectiveness of coconut husk and shell ash powders in developing latent fingerprints with high clarity, enabling the identification of the individual charateristics.Timepoint: The fingerprints will be analyzed upon completion of each development process on test surfaces for both the intervention and comparator powders, including baseline assessment and after each subsequent development step.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To evaluate the efficacy of eco-freindly, natural coconut husk & shell ash powders in the latent fingerprint development, with a focus on cost-effectiveness, availability, & safety.Timepoint: The fingerprints will be analyzed upon completion of each development process on test surfaces for both the intervention & comparator powders, including baseline assessment & after each subsequent development step
