Drug Checking
Addictions / Substance Use and Public Health
Provided by Fraser Health
The drug checking utilizes BTNX Fentanyl Test Strips™ that enable individuals to check their drugs for contaminants like fentanyl. Drugs are checked with a test strip. Then dilute the substance with a small amount of water and a positive or negative for fentanyl is revealed within minutes.
Drug checking for all chemicals is done by the Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR) machine can identify multiple (up to 6) ingredients in a sample. Examples include heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, MDMA, fentanyl, benzodiazepines and various cutting agents. The test takes about 10 minutes from start to finish. A 5mg sample (about the size of a match head) is needed.
