“This innovative tool is poised to revolutionize forensic drug detection in the field, providing accurate results in under five minutes”, states a press release sent today. “PowderTracer™ addresses the urgent need for rapid, reliable drug identification, particularly in the face of the escalating opioid crisis and the increasingly sophisticated methods used by drug traffickers.”

PowderTracer is specifically designed for use by various agencies, including border patrol and customs, law enforcement and forensics teams, TSA and Homeland Security personnel, correctional facilities, and emergency medical response teams.

“Its portability and ease of use make it an invaluable asset in diverse settings, from busy border crossings to crowded urban environments”, says the company. “The system’s rapid testing capabilities allow for immediate responses to potential threats, enhancing public safety and helping to combat the spread of dangerous drugs.”

Gino Ajodani said “The opioid crisis demands innovative solutions, and that’s precisely what PowderTracer™ delivers. By providing rapid, reliable identification of dangerous substances, we’re empowering those on the front lines to make informed decisions, potentially saving lives and disrupting drug trafficking networks. This technology will be a lifeline for law enforcement and first responders, helping them keep our communities safer.”

PowderTracer™ detects seven dangerous drugs:

  • Fentanyl (FYL)
  • Carfentanil (CFYL)
  • Cocaine (COC)
  • Methamphetamine (MET)
  • Xylazine (XYL)
  • THC
  • K2 (synthetic marijuana)

The intuitive PowderTracer App “further enhances the system’s capabilities.” For example, “Field agents simply scan the test’s QR code, follow the app’s guided instructions, and generate a forensically valid digital report in minutes. The AI-powered reader eliminates subjective interpretation, ensuring precise, automated results and eliminating the risk of misreading faint lines. This feature is crucial for maintaining the integrity of evidence and ensuring compliance with legal standards. The app also offers valuable features like location-based drug trend tracking, providing valuable data for law enforcement and public health officials.
