Belgian university student invents kit to test for narcotics in drinks

A group of Belgian students have just launched a unique test kit that can detect anesthetics commonly used by criminals to put in drinks.

This test kit is very important in preventing abusive behaviors. (Illustration photo).

According to a reporter in Brussels, this innovative idea helped the student group win the Wallonie Entreprendre (Wallonian Entrepreneurship Support) award at the Startech competition. The kit works on a fairly simple principle: The user simply dips a strip of paper into the suspected drink. After about 2 minutes, if the drink contains one of the three most common anesthetics, the strip will change color.

According to a member of the team, their goal is to create a product that helps people feel more secure when going out. This kit is expected to help users protect themselves in a simple and effective way.

Thanks to the award received, the student group will continue to perfect their product to bring to market.

Early detection of toxins in drinks is of great significance in preventing abuse. The kit developed by students from the University of Liège promises to become a useful tool to help people protect themselves and those around them.

This is a great example of applying scientific knowledge to solve social problems. Students from the University of Liège have shown that creative ideas can bring positive changes to life.
