Background
Cyanoacrylate (superglue) is a proven method for developing latent fingerprints on most non-porous sur-
faces. In traditional applications, liquid glue is sublimated into a gaseous form within a closed chamber
with evidence, and reacts with moisture present in regions
where latent fingerprints are present. This reaction causes the
cyanoacrylate to polymerize and form visible ridges and detail
on latent fingerprints.
In some situations, it is impossible to place an item in a closed
chamber for fuming. Examples of these situations are: outside
windows on buildings, remote outdoor locations, and large
objects like the interior/exterior of vehicles. The Cyanowand®
uses direct heat via a butane torch to quickly vaporize
cyanoacrylate in a convenient cartridge. The fumes that are
projected can be used to develop latent prints by simply pass-
ing the wand over the surface in a controlled manner.
