Safefume
Fuming Chambers >> Safefume
Safefume 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.
APPLICATIONS

Safefume CA30T
|
A. 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.
B. Filter Door Key: Filter access keys prevent unauthorized removal or accidental exposure to dirty filters.
C. Track & Wheel System:An efficient filter clamping mechanism allows removal of main filter(s) directly to
disposal bag with track and wheel system.
D. 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.
E. Dynamic Filtration Chamber: The dynamic filter chamber prevents leakage of contaminated air by maintaining partial vacuum in the filter plenum.
F. 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.
G. 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).
H. Shelving: Standard height units include one shelf in a fixed position. Extra tall units include one shelf that is repositionable
to fit two configurations.
I. Fan: High velocity sparkless and brushless centrifugal fan.
J. Lighting: Vapor-proof fluorescent light.
K. Color: The cabinet is white with blue door(s).
L. Hanging Rods: Removable and adjustable stainless steel hanging rod for proper orientation of evidence.
M. 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.
N. 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. Hot plates are available with basic knob controls as well as advanced microprocessor controls with LED display.
OTHER FEATURES:
Standards Compliant: Performance specifications
and construction meet or exceed OSHA, ANSI and relevant international standards to assure operator safety..
Construction: Models are available in either polypropylene and epoxy coated steel or aluminum frame with plastic wall construction. Doors are tempered glass locking doors with tamper-proof seal and aluminum frame. See selection chart for specifications and dimensions. Available in 110V, 60Hz single phase electrical supply (other voltages available on request).
Optional UV Lamp: Activated ultraviolet light provides secondary disinfection of the interior between cases to prevent cross-contamination, ensuring integrity of the samples for DNA testing.
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.

Air Science Safefumes use energy-efficient ebmpapst brand centrifugal blowers for long life, dependable performance.
|
Safefume automatic cyanoacrylate fuming chamber includes features expressed through sound design and certified quality
construction. Accessories add functional performance to meet specific applications.
-
Professional Quality. Safefume automatic cyanoacrylate fuming chambers comply with current technical and safety regulations.
-
Multiplex Filtration. The cabinet frame and work surfaces are durable and chemically resistant.
-
Industrial Components.Internal systems are isolated from fumes, extending product life.
-
Reliability.Safefume automatic cyanoacrylate fuming chamber includes features expressed through sound design and certified quality construction. Accessories add functional perform-ance to meet specific applications.
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.
