Forensic experts from the Attorney General’s offices saw ForenScope’s reagent-free, contactless analysis devices in action last week in Mexico City, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí, Zacatecas and Monterrey. Between July 7 and 12, fingerprint examiners, chemists, geneticists, pathologists and document specialists discovered how portable, high-resolution imaging can transform crime-scene work.
Device Showcases in Five Cities
Participants observed live demonstrations of the t-ZOOM and SuperSpectral systems revealing blood, saliva and other biological fluids on site without any chemicals. The 8K Latent Fingerprint Detection System visualized minutiae clearly on materials like wine bottles, ceramic mugs, plastic containers, and textured metal surfaces. On-device matching capabilities further illustrated the potential for faster on-site analysis.
Portability Meets Power in CSI Pro III
Making its debut, the CSI PRO III drew significant attention as ForenScope’s latest innovation in portable forensic imaging. Combining a compact, field-optimized design with over 100 megapixels sensor, the device offers ultra-high-resolution imaging in a truly mobile form. Attendees noted the potential operational benefits of replacing multiple reagent-based tools with a single handheld device, citing time savings and reduced logistical demands in field investigations. This shift could contribute to more efficient workflows and leaner resource use in complex case environments.
Environmental and Budgetary Benefits
By eliminating physical reagents, ForenScope devices cut chemical waste and lower long-term operating costs. Agencies can deploy multiple units without worrying about hazardous disposal or frequent restocking. With forensic budgets under pressure worldwide, could this approach set a new standard for sustainable practice in your next case?
Expert Reflections and Next Steps
After hands-on trials, specialists observed the system’s ability to match partial or faint prints under realistic field conditions. The battery, lasting up to eight hours per charge and supported by optional backup packs, was noted as suitable for extended operations. With agencies evaluating the adoption of t-ZOOM units across Mexico, discussions centered around which features would be most valuable in future forensic toolkits.
The Mexico demo tour provided an opportunity for local forensic teams and distributors to engage directly with the latest developments in imaging technology. Through demonstrations of reagent-free imaging, high-resolution analysis, and portable device configurations, the event contributed to expanding practical understanding and readiness for broader implementation in on-site forensic investigations.
