Veriteque, Inc. has developed disruptive, patent-protected technology, that is poised to take over the narcotics and explosives presumptive field testing industry. Veriteque’s test kits are an intuitive, safe and simple to use one step spot test to identify drugs of abuse. The kits are comprised of a paper strip with dry reagent test zones applied to its surface and a cotton swab to transfer the suspect residue to the paper strip test zone for analysis with minimal disruption. There are no bulky or hazardous liquid reagent dropper bottles, breakable ampoules or pressurized spray cans. Unlike the competition, Veriteque’s test kits are 100% recyclable, non-hazardous and do not require any special neutralizers or disposal procedures. Veriteque’s products are disruptive because they are based on dry powdered reagents, rather than dangerous, hazardous and carcinogenic liquid chemicals, making them the safest and easiest to use test kits on the market. This enables the use of the Veriteque test kits in new markets and environments (Schools, Consumer, Retail, etc.) where safety precautions prevent traditional narcotics and explosive field test kits to go. The core technology generates significant benefits including: • No hazardous liquids or glass • Safe to use, no gloves required • Results in seconds • Minimal training required • Lowest false positives • Lightweight & ultra-portable • Environmentally friendly disposal Veriteque’s narcotics products have tested to National Institute of Justice standards by MRI Global. It's liquid explosive test kit is the only non-machine device certified by European Civil Aviation Conference for the screening of Liquids, Aerosols and Gels (LAGs) at European airports. Veriteque’s dry explosive test kit has been evaluated by the UK Government Home Office Scientific Development Branch (HOSDB) and the DETK reached a standard of performance acceptable for use by UK Government bodies.
