Biosensor’s new product can detect 12 different substances simultaneously

On the 2nd of February Biosensor will launch new equipment able to detect 12 different narcotics and explosives simultaneously. The target group for these new machines are the customers who have a need for detecting many different substances quickly and with great accuracy.

The new machine is the result of development work that has been started up in late 2007. That’s when the Company aquired a complementary technology, which has subsequently been integrated with the Company’s existing technology.

– We are proud to be able to present our new product already now. Thanks to our two successful new share issues and the hard work of our skilled people we have been able to develop and test the equipment simultaneously making the process faster than anticipated. On 2nd of February we will hold a press conference in Stockholm at Spårvägshallarna at which we will explain in greater detail what we have achieved, says Biosensor’s CEO, Bengt Hagander. Details about the press conference will be published on our website.

The new machine has been developed with focus on user friendliness and it is smaller and lighter to allow mobile use in, for example, cars and boats. The machine provides detailed information about detected substances within 35 seconds. This makes for much improved opportunities of effective detection of substance abuse in traffic and among prison inmates, at treatment centres and work places. It will even be possible to detect drugs such as Ice, also called Glass, and Benzodiazipines, such as the brand Rohypnol.
