The project brings together MODELIC, ScienceFlows and Nanosens. Building on Nosum’s work with drinks, it extends research to saliva and urine samples for potential use by police and healthcare services.
Two development approaches
The technical project description sets out two approaches: chemosensors and hybrid nanomaterials. Researchers aim to integrate them into straightforward, rapid kits whose results can be interpreted outside a specialist laboratory.
A research direction
Testing biological fluids is intended to provide information after a possible ingestion has already occurred. The project description also envisages a role in preliminary forensic screening, rather than focusing exclusively on testing drinks.
Context matters
These are proposed applications. The announcement does not establish clinical validation or detection of every substance.
The date refers to the linked original publication. This summary preserves the context at that date.
