Drink spiking is a growing global concern, posing a serious threat to individuals' safety and enjoyment. The company's drink-spiking test kit is a revolutionary product designed to combat this issue.
It is a user-friendly, instant test strip that can detect a wide range of commonly used drugs in beverages, including GHB, Ketamine, Cocaine, Scopolamine, and over 600 other amine-based substances. This versatile tool empowers individuals to enjoy social settings with peace of mind. By providing individuals with the ability to quickly and easily check their drinks, the test kit helps to create safer environments for everyone.

The product has undergone rigorous independent testing by renowned institutions, including the Clinical Trials Laboratory Services (CTLS), University of Strathclyde, and Lucideon UK. These validations and the test strips ISO certification ensure the product's accuracy and reliability.
