Automatic Cyanoacrylate Fuming Chamber 24 • 30 • 48 • 60 • 72XL
Automatic Cyanoacrylate Fuming 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 a n
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.

INTRODUCTION
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.
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.
This Product Exceeds OSHA, ANSI and Other International Standards.

Automatic Cyanoacrylate Fuming Chamber 24 • 30 • 48 • 60 • 72XL
PRODUCT FEATURES:
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 cyano-
acrylate. 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.
Air Science
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 epox y 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.
