Sirchie Cyanowand Heat Generator with Protective Head Cover

With the Sirchie Cyanowand Heat Generator, you can unlock the power of a self-igniting, butane-fueled heat tool that operates independently of electricity. This versatile tool offers flameless heat generation with adjustable temperature controls, making it a reliable companion for various applications.

Designed for portability, this hand-held heat generator employs disposable cyanoacrylate cartridges. When these cartridges are exposed to the heat produced by the Cyanowand, they release the necessary vapor for developing latent fingerprints. This makes the Cyanowand an invaluable tool for forensic investigations at outdoor crime scenes, vehicle processing, and in well-ventilated indoor environments, as well as for use with fuming chambers.

The Cyanowand's effectiveness lies in its ability to facilitate the polymerization of cyanoacrylate (ethyl or methyl) vapor on most latent prints found on nonporous surfaces. This chemical reaction results in a visible, white deposit, providing a clear and detailed fingerprint.

The Cyanowand Heat Generator is not limited to a single type of surface. It can effectively develop latent prints on a wide range of materials, including plastics, both finished and unfinished metals, glass, enamel or varnished wood surfaces, cellophane, metal foils, and plastic-coated papers. This makes it a versatile tool for a broad spectrum of forensic applications.
