Problem
Traditional drug screening methods often involve invasive procedures, lengthy turnaround times, and can be undignified for the individual being tested. Existing point-of-care solutions may lack the accuracy and reliability required for safety-critical industries. The need for rapid, non-invasive, and accurate drug testing is growing, especially in environments where frequent monitoring is essential.
Solution
Intelligent Bio Solutions provides a portable drug screening system that analyzes fingertip sweat to detect recent drug use, offering a pain-free and efficient alternative to traditional methods. The Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System detects commonly abused drugs, including cannabis, cocaine, opiates, and methamphetamine, via the fingertips. Samples are collected in under a minute, with results displayed in less than ten minutes. The system comprises a drug screening cartridge, a drug screening reader, and a fingerprint collection kit for laboratory analysis. The biosensor platform, a small, printable organic strip, is designed to put the power of accurate, timely diagnosis in the hands of patients and their primary health practitioners.
Target Audience
