MEGAfume Cyanoacrylate Fuming Chamber

The MEGAfume Cyanoacrylate Fingerprint Fuming Chamber range provides forensic laboratories with a controlled and practical solution for developing latent fingerprints on non-porous surfaces. Cyanoacrylate fuming, also known as superglue fuming, helps forensic professionals develop fingerprints on glass, metal, plastics, painted surfaces and other non-porous evidence.

Tetra Scene of Crime International developed the MEGAfume fingerprint fuming chamber range for professional forensic laboratories that require high standards of safety, cleanliness, repeatability and evidence visibility. Furthermore, three chamber sizes allow laboratories to select a system that suits their available workspace, typical evidence dimensions and operational workload.

Cyanoacrylate Fingerprint Fuming Chamber Sizes

The MEGAfume series includes three models designed for different forensic laboratory requirements.

MEGAfume S61 Cyanoacrylate Fingerprint Fuming Chamber

The compact S61 provides a practical benchtop solution for laboratories processing smaller exhibits or working within restricted laboratory space. Its compact footprint makes it particularly suitable for routine fingerprint development while retaining the professional features expected from a forensic cyanoacrylate chamber.

MEGAfume M61 Cyanoacrylate Fingerprint Fuming Chamber

For laboratories requiring greater internal capacity, the M61 provides a medium-sized, floor-standing system. Consequently, forensic teams can process larger evidence items or several exhibits while maintaining a controlled working environment.

MEGAfume XL61 Cyanoacrylate Fingerprint Fuming Chamber

The XL61 provides substantially increased capacity for laboratories that need to process large exhibits, greater volumes of evidence or objects that cannot fit inside conventional fingerprint fuming cabinets. Therefore, the XL61 provides an effective solution for specialist forensic facilities with demanding evidence-processing requirements.

Cyanoacrylate Fingerprint Fuming Chamber for Forensic Laboratories

Each MEGAfume Cyanoacrylate Fingerprint Fuming Chamber combines practical operation with a modern, laboratory-focused design. Large viewing areas provide an excellent, well-lit view of evidence from multiple angles. As a result, forensic personnel can observe exhibits clearly throughout the fingerprint development process.

In addition, smooth internal and external surfaces support straightforward cleaning and laboratory housekeeping procedures. The chambers suit DNA-sensitive forensic environments where cleanliness and contamination control form an important part of evidence-handling procedures.

A clear touch-panel control interface provides convenient access to system functions while supporting a simple and efficient workflow.

Cyanoacrylate Fuming for Latent Fingerprint Development

Cyanoacrylate fuming remains an established technique for developing latent fingerprints on non-porous evidence. During the process, cyanoacrylate vapour interacts with fingerprint residue and forms a visible polymer deposit along the fingerprint ridge detail.

Forensic laboratories commonly use the process when examining:

• Glass
• Metal
• Plastic
• Polythene
• Painted surfaces
• Packaging
• Other non-porous materials

Following cyanoacrylate development, laboratories may apply additional fingerprint enhancement or examination techniques according to their validated forensic procedures.

Professional Cyanoacrylate Fingerprint Fuming Chamber Equipment

The MEGAfume range gives forensic laboratories flexibility when selecting equipment for their operational requirements. Whether a laboratory requires a compact benchtop system, a larger floor-standing chamber or an extra-large cyanoacrylate chamber for oversized evidence, the S61, M61 and XL61 provide three clearly defined options.

Tetra Scene of Crime International supplies specialist forensic equipment, fingerprint development equipment and crime scene investigation products to professional users throughout the UK and internationally.
