Electrostatic Detection Device - Manufacturers

Manufacturers

An EDD is a highly specialized device and there are only a few manufacturers:

1. Foster + Freeman Ltd manufactures and markets the ESDA® (from Electrostatic Detection Apparatus) which is the original such device developed in 1978. It was designed to meet the requirements of the UK Home Office and is still in production today in two different forms: the ESDA2® and ESDA-Lite® (portable)
2. Projectina manufactures the Docustat DS-220
3. Lightning Powder Company, Inc. manufactures two units: the Electrostatic Vacuum Box and Vacu-Box™ for Indented Writing
4. Kinderprint (now CSI Forensic Supply) used to manufacture the IMEDD® (from Indentation Materializer Electrostatic Document Device) but their website no longer lists this device in their product line
