Vacuum Metal Deposition (VMD) Operational Training Program

Vacuum Metal Deposition (VMD) is one of the most powerful and sensitive techniques for developing latent finger-marks. It finds widespread application on non-porous; semi-porous; and porous surfaces. The process involves physically coating evidence with an ultra-thin metal film under high vacuum conditions. The result is a reverse developed latent print; which remains unaffected by the process itself; therefore; VMD does not compromise subsequent DNA sampling for analysis. West Technology Forensics offers a 2-day comprehensive Operational Training Program lead by Forensic Scientists that covers both theoretical principles and practical applications; ensuring proficiency in this advanced forensic technique.
