Train your K9 to reliably locate human remains across multiple stages of decomposition with the Sigma Aldrich K9 HDR Human Remains Detection Scent Training Aid Kit.
This kit uses proven Sigma Pseudo™ corpse scent formulations to give handlers a safe, consistent, laboratory-grade odor source without the logistical and ethical issues of real tissue. Designed for professional HRD, SAR, and law-enforcement K9 teams, it covers early post-mortem, advanced decomposition, and drowned-victim profiles so you can build a fully rounded cadaver dog from foundation through advanced work.
