CopperTree Forensics has revolutionised the field of forensic science with its new generation FVMD (Forensic Vacuum Metal Deposition) technology. This innovative technique is designed to develop latent fingerprints on a wide range of non-porous, semiporous and porous surfaces, including flexible plastic packaging, glass, fabrics, firearms and more.
The FVMD was primarily sold to UK Policing Fingerprint Labs, with new features including Siemens Digital Screen, faster pumps, additional metal boats, UVC lights for sterile chambers, IR lights for video recording and programmed development recipes, all proving a great success.
CTF’s unique relationship with UK Policing, soon enabled a proof of concept trial for FVMD to be used in DNA labs, to identify and target contact DNA evidence.
The trial was a success and live major crime casework soon followed - a first in UK Policing history.
This has changed how UK Policing approach forensic investigation for serious offences and CopperTree Forensics are now the only supplier of FVMD technology to both Fingerprint and DNA Labs, cementing our place as market leaders.
