PolyCyano UV

The one-step fluorescent fingerprint fuming process

The foster+freeman MVC/D range of cyanoacrylate fuming cabinets and the MVC lite portable fuming systems are designed to accommodate the use of the PolyCyano UV one-stage chemical staining process.

Exclusive to foster+freeman outside of Japan, PolyCyano UV dramatically reduces fingerprint processing times by combining cyanoacrylate monomer with a fluorescent stain in a one-stage fuming process inside the cabinet.

Whilst standard Ethyl-2 Cyanoacrylate evaporates at 120°C PolyCyano UV requires further heating to 230°C. To achieve this increased evaporation temperature all Foster + Freeman MVC Cabinets now feature a dual-temperature heating unit, while older cabinets can be upgraded in the field.

Once evidence has been treated with PolyCyano UV, fingerprints can be seen to fluoresce brightly under appropriate illumination; Crime-lites are ideal for such examinations.
