The FDC185 Fingerprint Development Chamber: A Sanyo-Gallenkamp Exclusive
The speed and
sophisticated detection features of this precision instrument constitute a significant
improvement over traditional detection methods. The table top FDC185 optimizes and
accurately controls the conditions under which exhibits are treated. This is achieved by
the sequential use of DFO (1.8 diasafluoren-9-one) and
ninhyrdrin which is recognized as the most effective way of detecting
prints on paper and similar surfaces. The accurately controlled conditions of high
temperature and high relative humidity (80°C and 65% r.h.) for ninhydrin yields excellent
clarity in just three minutes compared to at best 10 minutes (and often much longer) using
other traditional methods. The DFO sequence (100°C, no humidity) may also be used as a
separate process.
