Ninhydrin, DFO and Indandion Development Chambers for Latent Fingerprints on porous surfaces
NINcha is a climate chamber specially designed for developing fingerprints and similar marks on porous surfaces. There are three sizes of chamber in this series, the benchtop model NINcha S31, the mid-size standing model, NINcha M31 and the larger standing model, NINcha L31.
Evidence with fingerprints is treated in the usual way by dipping or spray with developer like Ninhydrin, DFO or Indandione, and after an evaporation step, is developed in a climate chamber. This allows the evidence to be developed under the ideal temperature and humidity conditions for the best results.
Many laboratories attempt to do the development step in a cabinet or chamber designed for other uses. These, unfortunately, are not ideal for evidence development. Not only can they produce inferior results, less standardized methods threaten laboratory credibility, and use of improper equipment can contaminate evidence and even cause it to develop mold.
NINcha was specially developed for forensic laboratory use, using the feedback of professionals working in the field. With over 500 systems installed worldwide, NINcha is a hallmark of modern day forensic equipment standards for fingerprint development on porous surfaces.
All NINcha series models are constructed with the same innovative details in mind, using future-proofed state-of-the-art production techniques.
