Tongue Wipe Testing for Drugs of Abuse

BioSens™ - Innovative On Site Device

BioSens saliva drug testing device


The BioSens™ Dynamic S System is an innovative, unique and biotech based technology that provides a quick, accurate and cost effective solution for drug testing.

 

  • The fastest device on the market - 90 seconds to obtain a result – less ‘downtime’ per employee
  • Cheaper per test compared to other devices
  • Able to detect drugs at a lower cut off level than AS4760 2006*.
  • Non invasive collection
  • Simple to operate
  • Individual result print out for each donor – no ambiguity
  • Tests for multiple narcotics simultaneously
  • Portable with PC connectivity

      

Detectable drugs

The BioSens™ unit can test for the following classes of drugs:

  • Cocaine
  • Amphetamine
  • Methamphetamine
  • Ecstasy, MDA, MDEA
  • Opiates, Heroin, Morphine, Codeine
  • Marijuana.

 

How Are The Drugs Detected?


Step 1 – Desorption

The filter is heated to desorb the collected substance by heating and then trapping the resulting vapours on a cold surface.

Step 2 – Extraction

The target molecules are removed from the cold surface by an innovative and efficient extraction method.  An analyte is created which is transferred into the biocells for analysis.

Step 3 – Detection

The analyte reacts in the biocells and creates a frequency change if a target substance is present.

Step 4 – Result Delivery

The result is displayed in the text window on the Biosensor unit.  A series of bars occurs next to each drug class indicating the relative concentration of narcotic in the sample.  A "Clear" message indicates no drug has been detected.  A "Hit" message indicates a presumptive positive for that drug class. A thermal printer can generate a hardcopy.
