Safefume

Fuming Chambers >> Safefume

Safefume benchtop and full size modelsSafefume™ cyanoacrylate fuming chambers are designed to safely develop latent fingerprints using ethyl cyanoacrylate (CNA) vapor in a controlled environment for optimum effectiveness and safety where moisture and fuming time are critical factors. The tamper resistant compartment helps maintain the chain of custody. The unique Air Science Multiplex™ filtration system, together with professional design and unique construction features offer personnel protection during use.

The ductless filtration system requires no connection to an outside exhaust system. The automatic control system programs the fuming cycle. A versatile system of hanging rods and shelves allows proper positioning of items of evidence in the chamber.

 
The professionally designed automatic fuming chamber eliminates reliance on do-it-yourself systems that lack user-safety allowances and microprocessor controls needed for repeatable results.
 
The Safefume system controls all functions from start-to-finish, permitting the investigator to initiate an unattended automatic cycle, establish the proper fuming intensity and duration, and to return upon completion to collect results.
 
Fuming time, humidity and chamber fume evacuation can be user-set to comply with internal department criteria, lab safety protocols or best practices in evidence management.

DUCTLESS TECHNOLOGY: The Eco-friendly Choice
Advanced carbon filtration technology offers a safe, high performance alternative to ducted cabinets for cyanoacrylate fingerprint development applications.
  • 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.

AIR SCIENCE® PRINTBUSTER™ PRO LCD INTERFACE TECHNOLOGY
Printbuster Pro is the industry’s first use of touchscreen technology offering a simple, easy-to-use solution delivering repeatable results every time. The automatic latent fingerprint development cycle manages the following:
  • Relative humidity setpoint. Relative humidity is established via a water-filled nebulizer/humidifier.
  • Cabinet temperature display.
  • Door status with lock alarm.
  • Circulation fan on/off.
  • Hot plate on/off. The hot plate accelerator polymerizes ethyl cyanoacrylate for a specific time interval.
  • Processing time.
  • Purge cycle time. Fumes are removed from the chamber through the Multiplex filtration system via a carbon filter; air is safely exhausted to the room.
  • Emergency stop.
  • Filter condition. An optional electronic gas sensor emits an audible and visual warning when the main filter must be changed.

Key Performance Advantages
Air Science Safefume™ chambers provide key operational advantages that make evidence processing safer, easier and more accurate.
  • Internal Chamber Cleansing. Operators are protected from harmful cyanoacrylate vapor out-gassing when the unit is not in use. Even if the unit is not running, internal surfaces may still be contaminated from the previous processing cycle.
  • Fuming Delay. Cyanoacrylate fuming achieves maximum results under 70% to 80% humidity. Air Science has developed a hot plate fuming delay that only activates at the user-determined chamber humidity, ensuring better results and clearer print impressions on the first fuming.
  • Cool Mist Nebulizer. Open steam reservoir humidifiers are slow and inaccurate, while faster ultrasonic humidifiers remain sensitive to residue buildup on the water tank. The Air Science Cool Mist Nebulizer can be programmed to achieve preset humidity conditions quickly and accurately, using a replaceable “wicking” filter to eliminate excess cyanoacrylate from building up on the unit.
  • Adjustable Temperature Hot Plate. (Optional) The Safefume™ is versatile, offering optional hot plates to cater to a variety of fuming techniques, including Microburst and typical Super glue methods.
