Cyanowandª Glue Fuming Kit

Cyanowand Glue Fuming Kit

Here is a method of fuming with cyanoacrylate fumes, instantly in the field. It is no longer necessary to wait until you get back to the lab to fume evidence. After fuming, you can use your Forensic Light Source with powders and dyes to further enhance the latent prints. Use this glue fuming wand in conjunction with Redwop™, Greenwopª, Blitz-Redª, Blitz-Greenª, Rhodamine, Ardrox, Basic Yellow 40, or other powders and dye stains. If you don't have either type of light source, you can always use regular or magnetic powders to dust the glue-developed prints, just like you would with any other type of glue fuming you currently do.

Using this wand in a fuming chamber is very effective and quick. The chamber fills with a high concentration of fumes in about 30 seconds. The glue fuming wand can be used the same way inside of a vehicle. Each kit contains a self-igniting wand with a protective cover, a can of refill butane, ten regular glue cartridges, and a cartridge extraction tool, all within a sturdy case. The wand can be heated for three to four hours on one filling of butane. Since you are only using it for a few minutes per piece of evidence, a few hours is a very long time.

Technical Note:

Cyanoacrylate vapor has shown to polymerize with latent print residue. It fixes the prints to the nonporous background. The resulting latent prints are hard and pale in color. In the past, it has been required to do this process in a closed container. Small evidence was placed inside of a processing chamber and large evidence was draped with plastic sheeting to create a closed environment. A portable process has been developed for use in the field or in a fuming chamber. The Cyanowand™ glue fuming device is portable and fits easily in the hand. Each Cyanowand™ kit contains a self-igniting wand, a can of refill butane, ten glue cartridges, an extractor tool, a safety cover, all within a sturdy case.

Please Note: Due to shipping regulations the butane canister cannot be shipped outside the US including Alaska and Hawaii and will be removed from the kit in these cases.
