The integrated filter workstation for electrostatic detection (ESD) use
For many years, ESD has been considered a standard in document examination. During the evidence development process, ozone from the high voltage charging system and toner particulates are released into the air, especially when using the method of mixing glass beads and toner and spreading them over electrostatically charged developer film.
While this is still the optimal procedure for the development of indented writing, local health and safety regulations have changed over the years. Many larger laboratories already use exhaust cabinets and fume hoods to comply with these new regulations, however, smaller labs and many private document examiners do not have access to such systems. Attestor Forensics developed TORnado, the Toner Particulate and Ozone Reduction System especially for these types of users.
The TORnado system operates independently from any external ventilation hookups and the air recirculation system ensures that it does not negatively affect the surrounding air in the room.
The multi-stage filter system increases safety and reduces contamination concerns by removing harmful particulates from the air and your workspace.
Benchtop or Height-Adjustable Stand
TORnado is a benchtop system with a 77 x 77cm footprint. If users don’t wish to use it directly on a benchtop, we have a height adjustable stand option, allowing it to be used either standing or sitting as needed. These stand is designed with no cabinets under them, to allow for legroom. It is possible to order a unit on a heavy duty lab cart as well, which has extra shelving space.
