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.

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

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.

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.
MULTIPLEX™ FILTRATION
TECHNOLOGY
Multiplex Filtration
consists of a pre-filter
and main filter to create
a combination of
chemical and physical
architecture customized
to each application.
The mechanical design
enhances safety,
convenience and
overall value.
• The electrostatic
pre-filter is accessible
from within the
cabinet.
• A filter clamping
mechanism allows
for the filter to
be easily installed
and ensures an
even seal at the filter
peripheral face at
all times to prevent
bypass leakage.
• The filter chamber
prevents contaminated
air from contacting
internal cabinet
mechanisms.
• The main filter number
and installation date
are displayed in a
front-access window.
The Air Science carbon
filtration technique is
based on enhanced,
activated carbon
particle formulations
from specially selected,
naturally occurring raw
material superior to wood
or other organic sources.
The carbon is treated
to attain the proper
porosity and aggregate
surface area and to
react with several ranges
of aerosolized chemicals
moved through the
filter by an air handling
bl ower.
• The carbon filter is
a self-contained
assembly sized to fit
the specified product
model number, and
configured to optimize
airflow across 100%
of the filter surface
area for maximum
efficiency, prolonged
filter life, optimal
diffusion and
saturation capacity,
and user safety.
