Ductless Forensic Containment Products

WHAT are Ductless Evidence Drying Cabinets and Ductless Forensic Workstations? Ductless Evidence Drying Cabinets are ventilated, filtered enclosures designed to safely and efficiently dry and store various articles of physical evidence that are suspected of containing physiological fluids, such as blood, semen, urine, saliva and fecal matter that may require contaminant-free air drying prior to analysis. Ductless Forensic Workstations are filtered enclosures designed to create a safe workspace for the processing of physical evidence employing development methods that use latent print powders, chemical reagents (ninhydrin, silver nitrate, DFO), vapors and esters. WHO needs Ductless Evidence Drying Cabinets and Forensic Workstations? Anyone involved in technical analysis and testing of crime scene evidence and/or receiving and storing contaminated evidence who is concerned with personal safety and evidence integrity. WHY choose Ductless Drying Cabinets and Forensic Workstations? Workstations require expensive ductwork to route the fumes, gases and odors outside. Ductless systems use bonded carbon and HEPA filtration to trap harmful and putrid gases, odors, chemicals and bacteria. Plus, the drying cabinet or workstation can be moved to any desired area. HOW are Ductless Evidence Drying Cabinets and Forensic Workstations important to my department? They are important for two reasons: evidence integrity and safety. A ductless drying cabinet will protect the evidence from cross-contamination and the operator from possible airborne pathogen contamination. Putrid odors caused by decomposition as well as harmful viruses and bacteria are trapped by the filtration system which allows for a cleaner, safer work environment.

Forensic Containment
NOTICE: Proper ventilation in a forensic work area or laboratory is a major concern for both safety and comfort. The kinds and types of hazardous materials to be utilized and the designated work area should be reviewed with professional safety experts to determine and design an adequate ventilation system. Workstation and/or laboratory hoods are safety devices made especially to prevent toxic, flammable or noxious materials from entering the work atmosphere. A schedule of evaluation and maintenance is essential to their effective use. A fume hood can never substitute for safe working practices or proper hazardous material handling or disposal.

DrySafe Evidence Drying Cabinet

Protect yourself and your evidence from infectious pathogens and noxious odors while reducing possible cross-contamination of evidence Dry and store critical evidence with SIRCHIEs DrySafe Forensic Evidence Drying Cabinet. The DrySafe Evidence Drying Cabinet is designed to protect the operator and the environment from harmful bacteria, viruses and putrid odors associated with the drying of evidence, while ensuring the integrity of your evidence by protecting against crosscontamination. DrySafe is configured to clean the incoming drying air through pre-filtration or HEPA filtration, while the cabinet exhaust air is cleaned by a combination of bonded carbon and HEPA filtration. Decontamination of the DrySafe Evidence Drying Cabinet between cases eliminates residual DNA that may compromise evidence and affect subsequent serology. SIRCHIE offers a highly effective decontamination spray that will provide high-level disinfection of the cabinet. When used to manufacturers specification, the decontamination spray will also disinfect prefilters and HEPA filters, removing any harmful pathogens that are present. A special chemisorptive bonded carbon filter is designed to remove the active (noncarcinogenic) ingredients in SIRCHIEs spray-down solution. Prior to decontamination, the spray-down nozzle may be used to remove gross matter. Rinsing of DrySafe is easily accomplished with cold tap water. Collapsible shelves may also be removed for either high temperature sterilization or low-temperature, high-level disinfection. The automatic pump allows for easy disposal of waste water into a catch tank or nearby drain. The automatic waste pump is controlled by the AirSafe automatic safety controller with a built-in operational timer. Filters are included with all DrySafe evidence drying cabinets.

Cyanoacrylate Fuming
CyanoSafe Fuming Chamber
The CyanoSafe Filtered Cyanoacrylate Fuming Chamber is designed to safely and effectively process evidentiary items using the cyanoacrylate fuming method. It provides a controlled environment for the processing of latent fingerprints on most nonporous surfaces while eliminating personnel exposure to hazardous cyanoacrylate fumes. The CyanoSafe utilizes solid-state heating elements that accelerate cyanoacrylate polymerization while providing proper humidity levels inside the chamber. The CyanoSafe is equipped with the AirSafe automatic safety controller which monitors filter conditions and allows for the automatic processing of latent evidence. Once the cyanoacrylate has been placed into the heating tray, simply press the button labeled PROCESS on the automatic safety controller. The chamber locks down and a humidity sensor is activated as the fuming process begins. Once the desired results are achieved the operator simply presses PURGE which automatically removes all harmful cyanoacrylate fumes from the chamber.

Polypropylene Fume Hoods

Ductless Identification Workstation
SIRCHIEs ductless fume hoods are ideal for protecting the operator from toxic gases and particulates used in routine analysis. The hoods are designed to protect the operator from residual cyanoacrylate and carbon-based powders used in forensic analysis. Other commonly used chemicals, such as methanol, xylene and acetone, are also contained. The AirSafe Controller automatically monitors filter life and airflow conditions. The AirSafe Controller, not your nose, detects when to change the filters. The lower sash is outfitted with an electromagnetic controller that senses when the sash is lifted. When the sash is raised, the blower increases velocity to compensate for the additional opening. All Forensic Identification Workstations face velocities exceed OSHA standards. (No. AC4000A pictured left.)

Polypropylene Fume Hoods

Forensic Containment

How the Polypropylene Ductless Fume Hood Works:

1. Room air flowing away from the operator enters the enclosure in a horizontal pattern at A. 2. Contaminated air B and C is drawn behind the baffle via a low pressure area established at the base of the baffle and behind the horizontal baffle exhaust slots. 3. Contaminated air B consists of heavier elements, while lighter gases and particles are captured at C. 4. Combined contaminated air consisting of B and C is directed through the filter to D. 5. Clean air E is either recirculated back into the room or vented via ducting.

Latent Print Dusting Station

Latent Print Dusting Station
SIRCHIE Finger Print Laboratories introduces the latest forensic containment solution to protect the officer during latent print processing using latent fingerprint powders. The DS100 and DS200 provide superior protection while dusting items of evidence with a variety of latent print powders. Even laminar flow air pulls potential toxic particulate away from the officers breathing zone and into a multi-level filtration zone. The DS100 and DS200 are constructed from clear polycarbonate to allow excellent lighting conditions for observation by officers. Access into the latent print dusting station is easily obtained using the multiple folding sash doors. The sash doors provide a barrier between the process and the operator for added protection from smaller and lighter particulate.

Forensic Containment

The DS200 Latent Print Dusting Station pictured.

Due to a variance in particle size in all latent finger print powders, the only effective way to capture the smallest to the largest particles is by pulling them away from the operators breathing zone. Lighter and smaller particulate have a natural tendency to rise, while heavier particulate will fall on the base of the dusting station and can simply be cleaned. The most effective way to provide personal protection from latent finger print powder dust is to use an upward flowing laminar flow workstation. Sirchies latent print dusting stations have been independently tested for powder containment.

Innovative Technology
SIRCHIE Finger Print Laboratories revolutionary bonded carbon filters represent a significant breakthrough in ductless fume hood technology. Traditionally, granulated loose carbon filters, used in other ductless fume hoods, are not only dirty but can actually be more hazardous than the chemical being contained. Recognizing a major flaw in ductless fume hood filter design, a proprietary process was developed to hold carbon in a solid matrix, alleviating the threat of toxic carbon dust being released into the laboratory. Certain chemicals require an impregnate to be added to the activated carbon for neutralization of the target chemical. These impregnates, while held in a safe solid matrix, prevent potentially dangerous exposure to highly toxic chemicals associated with evidence processing. Capacity is maximized the bonded process eliminates dead zones in the filter by evenly distributing carbon.

Bonded Carbon FilterNO DUST!

HEPA Filter

HEPA filters are designed to trap toxic powders and fiber particulate. A HEPA filter is an effective way to trap finger print powder while processing evidence for latent prints, as in our Identification and Basic Workstation. HEPA filters are also used in the DrySafe evidence drying cabinet to trap blood borne pathogens.

AirSafe Automatic Safety Controller

The AirSafe automatic safety controller ensures your protection 24 hours a day, by incorporating a combination of airflow monitoring, filter monitoring, and gas detection far superior to anything available today. Constant monitoring and adjustment of fume hood face velocity ensures a high level of operator protection. Vividly marked function keys make operation of the workstation as simple as a touch of the button. AirSafe constantly monitors the face velocity and displays the actual airflow on an alphanumeric display. AirSafe has built-in low airflow alarms that can be set and displayed on the liquid crystal display. Audible and visual alarms alert the user to insufficient airflow. AirSafe also displays the current filter conditions and alerts the operator if filter saturation occurs. A state-of-the-art gas detector constantly samples the exhaust air and displays the results on the liquid crystal display. If breakthrough occurs, the officer is notified by both audible and visual alarms. AirSafe also monitors the condition of the HEPA filter, when installed in the workstation. AirSafe, the ultimate safety device, protects the law enforcement professional from exposure to hazardous chemicals and particulate associated with the processing of evidence.
