PCR Workstation: Dead Air vs. Laminar Flow
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) workstation, a workspace enclosed on three sides, provides the space for doing amplification of DNA and RNA. These workstations, used in biology and genetic laboratories, prevent cross contamination between samples and UV lights for sterilization. There are two types of PCR workstations or PCR hoods that aid the researcher by […]
How Does A Fume Hood Work?
Fume hoods are designed to provide personnel protection from toxic or volatile chemicals by continuously delivering airflow away from the user to the work area. Air is then filtered and/or treated by the building’s exhaust system before exiting the facility (ducted) or by filters contained in the fume hoods, which clean the contaminated air and […]

Fingerprint Fuming Chamber Permits Safe Use of Toxic Vapors for 2nd and 3rd Level Print Detection
Cyanoacrylate fuming chambers are an alternative to conventional dusting with fingerprint powder. Fuming chambers are designed to safely develop latent fingerprints using ethyl cyanoacrylate (CNA) vapor in a controlled environment. This process is safe and effective for applications where moisture and fuming time are critical variables. Fuming Chamber Features Learn more about the Safefume Automatic […]
Evidence Drying Cabinet Provides Protection from Contamination
When evidence is collected from a remote crime scene, forensic investigators must protect this evidence as well as personnel from a range of chemical or biological contaminants. The evidence drying cabinet, also known as a forensic cabinet, offers additional measures of protection from pathogens beyond conventional fume hoods without cross contamination. Maintain the Chain of […]
Fingerprint Powder Hood Improves Evidence Processing Safety
A downflow workstation is an ideal platform for forensic applications where fingerprint dusting processes with a fine brush cannot be contained. A downflow cabinet is a high-efficiency ductless fume hood designed to protect the user and the environment by capturing fine particulates typical of fingerprint compounds sourced from the brush during the dusting process. Forensic […]
