Caron’s Fingerprint Development Chambers have been designed to accelerate the DFO, Ninhydrin and other fingerprint development processes. Fingerprints are detected at a faster rate, and with better clarity, by precisely controlling conditions of high temperature and high relative humidity. Typical operating conditions are 100ºC for DFO and 80ºC/65% RH for Ninhydrin. The chamber features rapid condition recovery after the chamber door is opened and closed. The large viewing area offers easy observation of critical samples. The chamber interior is made of seam-welded aluminum coated with high quality, corrosion resistant epoxy paint.
Standard Features:
-
The wide temperature and humidity range allows fingerprints to be processed in just a matter of minutes — not days like some conventional methods.
-
Microprocessor-based PID controllers maintain excellent stability and provide reliable and repeatable results.
-
The gentle, forced, vertical airflow provides uniform environmental conditions, eliminates condensation, and keeps evidence moisture-free.
-
A steam generator adds heat while humidifying, providing for quick ramp-up and rapid condition recovery after door openings.
-
The digital temperature and humidity display provides clear and accurate settings.
-
The icon-based control panel is easy to understand and requires minimal operating documentation.
-
Dual display of temperature and humidity allows the user to visualize instantaneous setpoint and operating conditions.
-
The vertical LED light strip in the door provides a large illumination area to watch fingerprints being developed.
-
The triple pane, heated glass door minimizes condensation.
-
A low water level warning light notifies the operator when to add water.
-
Digital countdown timer displays time remaining in test procedure.
-
Slide-out shelves allow for quick and easy loading and unloading of samples.
