MobileDetect

 MobileDetect Drug and Explosives Tests

DetectaChem's MobileDetect tests are a new alternative to traditional colorimetric tests for field drug and explosives testing. The system uses a pouch in conjunction with objective evaluation using a mobile phone and an Android (7.0 or later) or iOS (13.0 or later) app. The image and video below shows the test flow using the MobileDetect cartridge.

How does MobileDetect work?

Sample collection is performed using a removable swab that is included with the pouch. The swab is then inserted back into the pouch where a colorimetric reaction occurs after the chemicals are released. The result of the colorimetric reaction is then analyzed using the MobileDetect mobile phone app, and the result can be exported to a report or shared to a server, including location.

DetectaChem offers a wide range of test pouches, the substances detected include:

• Fentanyl, heroin, suboxone, oxycodone, other opiates
• Cocaine, Methamphetamine, MDMA/Ecstasy, Adderall
• THC and a special test to distinguish between THC and CBD cannabis (including fresh plants)
• Synthetic cannabinoids and cathinones (K2, Spice, bath salts, etc.)
• PCP, LSD, GHB, lyssol, ketamine
• Other: Gunshot residue

MDT - Multi-drug test

Detects fentanyl and distinguishes it from other opioids and other white powder substances. It combines several traditional test kits to provide a more comprehensive list of detected drugs.
