In a world's first, Victorian motorists will be subjected to random roadside saliva testing for illegal drugs. The DrugWipe? rapid tests from Securetec are proudly and exclusively distributed by Pathtech.
Thanks to leading-edge antibody detection technology, the test can be applied non-invasively, using saliva. This means that authorities can detect illicit substances such as cannabis and methamphetamines quickly and reliably both at the road side and in the station. This method has many advantages over urine sampling and is much easier to handle for both the tester and the person being tested.
The test using the Securetec DrugWipe II Twin THC/MET device takes five minutes. A positive initial test is verified in the drug bus.
The drug testing devices are highly accurate and reliable, having undergone rigorous testing.
Roadside drug testing promises to have a profound effect on the safety of motorists. Although initially only two classes of drug will be tested for, the DrugWipe devices can also detect nanogram residues of opiates, cocaine and benzodiazepines. The future application of these devices are of interest to customs and drug enforcement agencies, prisons, and the workplace.
