Ethyl Cyanoacrylate in Forensic Science by inechisilvaortiz is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Ethyl cyanoacrylate (C6H7NO2) is a compound used in forensic science for developing latent fingerprints through a method known as cyanoacrylate fuming. This process involves heating super glue in an airtight tank to produce gaseous cyanoacrylate, which reacts with moisture and organic components in fingerprints to make them visible. The effectiveness of this method depends on various factors including humidity and the concentration of the gas in the tank.
