Fuming Chemicals & Equipment

Introducing the most advanced design in butane-powered portable hand held heating appliances with features never before seen. Fuming cartridge is designed to remain attached to the Fume-A-Wand™ for as long as the unit is in use. The unique cartridge design allows the expanded pellet to be removed and a new pellet added quickly. A flameless catalytic heat source heats the CN pellet to generate polymerized ”super glue” fumes. Built-in stand allows hands-free operation in many situations, including inside a fuming chamber where it will generate sufficient heat to develop a latent print in as little as 30 seconds. A safety feature of the starting trigger minimizes accidental ignition and the unit is equipped with auto-ignition and variable temperature control. For use at outdoor crime scenes to ”lift” a print from most non-porous materials and from a deceased body. It can also be used in the laboratory to speed up latent print development in a ”cyano” fuming chamber.

Cyanoacrylate is used in the fuming process to develop latent prints. This technique is particularly useful with textured or other difficult surfaces and is helpful in processing large areas such as the interior of vehicles or rooms of a house. A small amount of cyanoacrylate applied to the accelerant causes rapid fuming of the cyanoacrylate. Thin viscosity for superior print recovery. > More

Utilizing the developmental properties of cyanoacrylate, this product creates an abundant amount of heat, which decreases fuming time while providing quality ridge detail. Set contains activator solution jar, activator crystals can, small poly tube with snap close cap. > More

These dishes are ideal for Cyanoacrylate fuming. A small amount of cyanoacrylate placed inside the dish and placed on a hot dish or in a chamber will cause rapid fuming of the cyanoacrylate. > More

The Cyanowand is a self igniting, butane powered heat tool. It is non-electric and is used as a flameless heat tool with variable temperature control. It is easy to use, completely portable. A hand held heat generator utilizes disposable cartridges using a cyanoacrylate monomer to emit cyanoacrylate vapor for fuming latent prints. The Cyanowand is designed for use at outdoor crime scenes, processing stolen vehicles, and in well ventilated indoor areas. Simply attach a cyanoacrylate cartridge, ignite and begin fuming. Hold the Cyanowand several inches away from the suspect surface and sweep the wand back and forth. Latent prints develop as they’re fumed.

Kit Includes:
Heat generator with protective head cover
1.3oz butane fuel can
Extraction tool

This unit features a 1.2 cubic foot volume for handling multiple articles. A glass enclosure allows for monitoring of the development process. The 4” clear Plexiglas lid features two built-in evidence support rods and six evidence clips. The lid has a port for use of a portable humidifier. Also included is a wire mesh fuming platform, disposable fuming trays, cleaning materials, and dispersal pads. > More

This 4.0 cubic foot Fuming Chamber is ideal for processinga large number of items. Two heating elements, operating independently or simultaneously, allow for safe cyanoacrylate accelerated development of latent prints. The heating elements are limited to surface temperatures of 230° F. This unit features a clear polycarbonate front door panel for constant monitoring. An inlet port located on each side of the chamber is compatible with the Cyanowand which emits cyanoacrylate vapor into the chamber and a portable humidifier when moisture is required during development. The Defumigator® is recommended for quickly removing noxious odors and fumes from the chamber through a HEPA filter and a bonded carbon filter. > More

Iodine Fuming is one of the traditional development methods generally used on porous materials such as paper and cardboard, and is usually applied before ninhydrin or silver nitrate processing. Iodine is available in pre-measured vials for use with conventional iodine fuming apparatus, and is for use in a plastic bag fuming chamber or in disposable Iodine Fuming Applicators. The Disposable Fuming Applicator consists of a flexible plastic applicator containing a breakable glass vial of pre-measured iodine crystals, drying reagents, and easy flow through filters. The applicator is easy and convenient to use in the laboratory or at scenes. First, attach the mouthpiece tubing to the end of the applicator after removing the plastic cap. Next, crush the breakable iodine containing tube by squeezing the center section with your fingers. Then open the hinge cap on the front of the applicator. While holding your palm around the center section for warmth, blow gently through the mouthpiece to release the iodine vapors directed to the surface to be processed. After activation, the applicator can be sealed for reuse by closing the hinged lid on the front of the applicator. > More

The Iodine Fuming Kit contains a traditional glass tube, Iodine fuming applicators, drying crystals, filter wool, Iodine crystals, and instructions in a plastic carry case. Our fuming apparatus features a unique one way check valve designed to prevent accidental inhalation of Iodine vapors. > More

CN is photo-luminescent cyanoacrylate. This CN dye blend is specific to print residue. Developed prints can be observed almost immediately in many cases, with a fume time of only 5 minutes. CN is cured into a proprietary, steel wool cartridge with an indefinite shelf life. It is dispersed using a butane torch with a flameless burner for easy use in field or lab. The amount of CN in each cartridge is pre-measured, reducing the risk of over development. CN developed prints are visualized with a wide spectrum, UV to 515nm, but are optimized at 450nm. The highly luminescent, stable prints can often be seen from 12 to 20’ away. > More

The UV-Box is a high-efficiency chamber designed to safely decontaminate contents while providing for a safe work environment for the operator. High intensity UV lamps are positioned within the cabinet producing short wave ultraviolet light at 254nm to destroy exposed surface DNA and bacteria, leaving evidence free of contamination prior to other forensic tests, analysis or procedures. UV lamps are optimally placed to eliminate blind spots and corners and walls are smooth to ensure that the contents are irradiated from all directions. The operator is protected from UV radiation by UV absorbing window and with safety controls to ensure that lamps cannot be activated until the cabinet door is securely closed. Other safety features include UV timer, hanging rod and shelf to support or suspend items for decontamination. > More

The CApture Portable Fuming System quickly fixes latent fingerprints at the crime scene using microburst or traditional CA fuming methods, while protecting the user from hazardous fumes. Its patented* design combines all the components needed in one compact system: a heater to heat the Super Glue†; a shatter-resistant, clear protective chamber to contain the fumes as they react with the latent prints; an exhaust blower; and particulate/carbon exhaust filter. No ducting is required. Since prints may be easily developed at the scene, irrelevant evidence may be ruled out thus saving valuable laboratory processing time and storage space.
