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 […]

Enhanced Filtration Technology
When Air Science developed the concept of Enhanced Filtration Technology™ (EFT) in 2010, the intent was to broaden the applications of ductless fume hoods by tailoring the chemistry of carbon filters and to provide filter combinations for a wider range of chemical classes. In applications where multiple uses of the ductless fume hood must be […]
Vertical Laminar Flow Hoods vs. Biological Safety Cabinets
Laminar flow cabinets are used in a wide array of applications in the pharmaceutical, medical, manufacturing, and scientific research fields. Laminar flow enclosures can be configured to provide vertical or horizontal airflow, depending on application needs. Each configuration is best suited to specific applications and provides a host of benefits. When is a vertical laminar […]
Clean Benches: What is a Clean Bench?
What is a Clean Bench? A clean bench is a laminar flow work cabinet or similar enclosure that provides filtered air across the work surface to protect against contamination. The clean bench was originally created to supplement clean room technology and today is used across a broad spectrum of industries including research, manufacturing, aerospace, bioscience, […]
Narcotics Safety: Recommendations for First Responders
First responders, including law enforcement, fire, rescue, and emergency service personnel are consistently placed in situations that endanger their safety. In many cases, the dangers present can be easily identified, such as a fire or a leaking fuel tank following a crash. In certain instances, however, dangers may be present that are much harder to […]
