About Air Science Safefume Cyanoacrylate Fuming Chamber

Just when precision and reliability are paramount in forensic science, the Air Science Safefume Cyanoacrylate Fuming Chamber emerges as an advanced solution for the meticulous development of latent fingerprints. This high-tech chamber harnesses the power of ethyl cyanoacrylate (CNA) vapor within a controlled environment, optimizing both effectiveness and safety. Critical factors such as moisture and fuming time are meticulously managed, ensuring the integrity of the fingerprint development process.

Constructed with durability in mind, the Safefume chamber features a tamper-resistant compartment, reinforcing the chain of custody and providing peace of mind for forensic professionals. The chamber is equipped with the unique Air Science Multiplex filtration system, which, alongside its professional design and construction, offers unparalleled personnel protection during operation.

Efficiency is at the heart of the Safefume's design, with a ductless filtration system that eliminates the need for external exhaust connections. The automatic control system simplifies the fuming cycle, allowing for a seamless and user-friendly experience. Investigators can benefit from the chamber's versatility, with an adaptable system of hanging rods and shelves that ensure proper positioning of evidence within the chamber.

The Safefume Cyanoacrylate Fuming Chamber stands out from makeshift systems by offering a reliable, microprocessor-controlled environment that guarantees repeatable results. Its professional design negates the need for DIY solutions that often lack necessary safety features and precise controls. With the Safefume system, all functions are managed from start to finish, enabling the investigator to launch an unattended automatic cycle, set the desired fuming intensity and duration, and return to collect the evidence once the process is complete.

Customization is key, and the Safefume allows users to adjust fuming time, humidity, and chamber fume evacuation to align with internal department criteria, lab safety protocols, or best practices in evidence management. Choose the Air Science Safefume Cyanoacrylate Fuming Chamber for an efficient, reliable, and professional approach to forensic evidence processing.

Air Science Safefume Cyanoacrylate Fuming Chamber Features

  • Environmental Benefits. Safefume cyanoacrylate fuming chambers capture cyanoacrylate vapors used in the process to prevent operator exposure and eliminate ecological impact through release into the environment
  • Versatile. The filtration system uses the exclusive Air Science Multiplex filtration technology
  • Easy to Install. Safefume chambers are self-contained. Set-up, operation and filter maintenance are straightforward
  • Energy Efficient. Because filtered air is returned to the room, no demands are required of the facility HVAC capacity for make-up air
  • Cost Effective. Facility ductwork, HVAC and construction costs are eliminated
  • Safe to Use. Cabinet isolation and filtration protect users from incidental exposures to cyanoacrylate fumes
  • Self testing. Electronic process monitoring assures continuous safety. An optional electronic gas sensor monitors carbon filter performance
  • Filter I.D. Window: A strategically placed front cover window shows the installed filter part number and installation date for convenience and to encourage timely filter replacement
  • Filter Door Key: Filter access keys prevent unauthorized removal or accidental exposure to dirty filters
  • Track & Wheel System: An efficient filter clamping mechanism allows removal of main filter(s) directly to disposal bag with track and wheel system
  • Electrostatic Pre-Filter: The 99.5% effective electrostatic pre-filter protects and extends the life of the main filter and can be changed without tools while unit is running to prevent operator exposure to captured contaminants
  • Dynamic Filtration Chamber: The dynamic filter chamber prevents leakage of contaminated air by maintaining partial vacuum in the filter plenum
  • Control Panel: The microprocessor control panel manages the Printbuster Pro operating sequence with control, oversight and display of all processing functions. The LCD display works with a touchpad data entry keypad to establish all operating parameters
  • Doors: Tempered glass, keyed doors with aluminum frame and tamper proof seal, provide improved security, stability and ease of cleaning. (scratch-resistant glass for lasting optimum visibility)
  • Shelving: Standard height units include one shelf in a fixed position. Extra tall units include one shelf that is repositionable to fit two configurations
  • Fan: High velocity sparkless and brushless centrifugal fan
  • Lighting: Vapor-proof fluorescent light
  • Color: The cabinet is white with blue door(s)
  • Hanging Rods: Removable and adjustable stainless steel hanging rod for proper orientation of evidence
  • Cool Mist Water Nebulizer/Humidifier: Programmable to achieve preset humidity conditions quickly and accurately, using a replaceable "wicking" filter to eliminate excess cyanoacrylate from building up on the unit
  • Hot Plate Accelerator: Hot plate to polymerize ethyl cyanoacrylate. Air Science also offers optional adjustable temperature hot plates to accommodate a variety of fuming techniques, including Microburst and typical Super glue methods
  • Standards Compliant: Performance specifications and construction meet or exceed OSHA, ANSI and relevant international standards to assure operator safety
  • Construction: White polypropylene and epoxy coated steel. Doors are tempered glass locking doors with tamper-proof seal and aluminum frame
  • Internal Chamber Cleansing: The Internal Chamber Cleansing feature automatically activates to eliminate contamination and remove the harmful vapor from the unit. This process is especially important if the unit is used infrequently or only during certain periods of high evidence volume
