Wrong, WMFT - the ValiMed cannot detect solid pills or capsules. It uses a cuvette, with souce UV coming from one side into the cuvette and fluorescence measured from another side (i.e., basic fluorimeter design 101). Solids will not work as the UV and fluoresced light cannot pass thru a solid. The ValiMed is not the PS3/methgun!

As well, most prescription drugs have coatings, either a tablet coating which is often opaque to visible and/or UV, or are in capsule form covered by an opaque capsule. Either way, these will not allow the UV and fluoresced light to pass through the coating/capsule.

Besides that, I highly doubt they would fit in a cuvette in a standardized way (prolly not at all, since I bleeve the cuvette volume is less than 1 cc (0.25cc I recall).

Please stop with the hype about ValiMed and solid dosages - it is just not correct.

WMFT, what product are you referring to in this statement:

"My discussions with actual users of the tech, the hands on professionals in the field, told me that calibration is possible to make it less sensitive."

Valimed or the meth gun?
