Nanalysis and German State Police (LKA) Collaborate on Mobile Illegal Drug Detector Nanalysis (TSXV:NSCI) is excited to announce another great partnership to expand the market for our devices. We will be working with a German state police agency (the LKA) to develop a mobile detector for the identification and quantification of illegal street drugs. The benchtop NMR based testing method will be automated such that it does not require a specially trained operator. Additionally, as the test is non-destructive, the sample is not destroyed and can be used for repetitive testing; facilitating sample handlers in following the legal chain of custody requirements.
Dr. Christian Vidal, Chief Chemist and Project Leader of the mobile laboratory of the LKA said: “We need a technical solution for our laboratory vehicle that allows us the rapid and reliable identification of unknown street drug samples directly on-scene. With the increasing prevalence of designer drugs, we recognize the classical repertoire of forensic measurement technology has reached its limits. Previous characterization techniques have been ineffective in identifying the large variety of synthetic drugs and new psychoactive substances. It is not uncommon that suppliers in the drug scene partially alter the molecular structure of the drug such that the intoxicating effect of the drug is maintained but it evades detection by existing analytical techniques. Thereby, the collaboration with Nanalysis is of high interest for us: The compact NMR device will be integrated into our mobile lab and can be employed directly at a crime scene. Together with Nanalysis, we are now developing a specialized database of NMR signatures with which we can identify illicit drugs like by a fingerprint, regardless of small structural modifications. The analysis will be rapid and automated; thus, we expect a significant benefit to both, the safety of the police forces deployed and our country.”

Hi Walter, it's not the German State Police (called Bundespolizei) but the police of lower saxony (Niedersachsen), the populous german state. Definitely a good start! Thank you and have a nice day!
