Drug test for drug detection for 5 minutes

The 5-minute drug detecting product has been officially announced by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hoang Manh Hung and colleagues of Biochemistry Department and professional documents, Ministry of Public Security.

This is a product of the topic " Research on the detection and traceability of heroin and synthetic drugs " under the key State-level science and technology program in the 2006-2010 period (KC.04 / 06-10).

Associate Professor, Colonel Hoang Manh Hung said: In order to have products as test strips, it is necessary to first create monoclonal antibodies to test for a certain type of drug (rapid detection of drugs) After that, a chemical and chemical analysis of narcotics was conducted to trace it (in geographic origin, on drug production methods).

Drug testing products .

This test strip will indirectly help drug prevention forces to block the supply from outside, promptly detect illegal production facilities in the country. Timely discover new tricks in drug preparation, especially synthetic drugs (typically 2C-B was discovered at NEW CENTURY dance hall in Hanoi in April 2007), from which to join planning for the Government to better manage to avoid the loss of precursors (chemicals for drug preparation) from legal sources as well as illegal sources.

According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hoang Manh Hung, this is the first time Vietnam has the technology to produce drug test strips within 5-10 minutes. At the same time, producing monoclonal antibodies to morphine and monoclonal antibodies to synthetic drugs.

' The research topic of discovering and tracing the origin of heroin and synthetic drugs has saved about 1.5 billion VND for the private software, the test part saved about 600 million VND. The price of our test strips is 3 to 4 times cheaper than imported test strips. The price of two types of test strips is about 11,000 VND (imported from 42,000), which is of equal quality '- Associate Prof. Dr. Hoang Manh Hung shared.

Conduct a quick test to detect drugs .

Quick drug test strips are a fast, convenient test method. When the reaction is negative, we can eliminate the drug and the result is correct, because this is a biochemical reaction, high specificity, so the results are displayed in 5-10 minutes.

Associate Professor, Colonel Hoang Manh Hung proposed to continue implementing phase 2 to avoid wasting the money invested and the effort spent to achieve the applied results in practice.

The project was implemented within 3 years (2007-2010) with a total budget of 3.7 billion.
