Nanotechnology Applied to War on Drugs
November 24th, 2008 by Perry
Drug users beware.
Dutch company Royal Philips Electronics has developed a handheld device which uses nanotechnology to detect marijuana, cocaine, speed and other drugs in a user’s saliva within a couple of minutes.
The company unveiled its initiative to transform the rapid diagnosis sector of the in-vitro diagnostics market at Medica 2008, where the 40th World Forum for Medicine took place (Düsseldorf, Germany, November 19 – 22).
Currently, Royal Philips Electronics is already working with the largest British drug-testing company to market the product across Europe.
