IDenta公司开发检测克他命的方法

　　一种药物检测试剂盒现在处于研制开发的最后阶段，能够鉴别出微量的克他命，这是一种“约会强奸药”。

　　液体形式的克他命被用于兽医外科，用于麻醉牛。这是一种强力违法药物，属于“游离麻醉药物”，能够将知觉从感觉中分离出来。该药通常以液体形式存放在小瓶中，可以被加工成白色粉末用于鼻腔吸入。小剂量能够增加心率，大剂量会抑制神志和呼吸。当与酒精、安定、羟基丁酸钠合用的时候特别危险。由于药物来源是非法的，所有克他命的问题颇多。

　　IDenta公司(Jerusalem, Israel)正在开发的试剂盒是一种现场药物检测设备，无须检测体液例如血液尿液。试剂盒能够检测低到0.5mg的克他命，精确性为100%。试剂盒减少了检测人群的需要，因为这并不可靠，现在有许多方法“逃避”检测，同时因为该物质在体内存在时间甚短。
 
　　Field Detector Being Developed for Ketamine
 
　　A drug detection kit, in the final stages of development, identifies the presence of trace amounts of ketamine, a substance often identified as a date-rape drug.

　　Ketamine in liquid form is used by veterinary surgeons for anesthetizing cattle. It is a strong illicit drug belonging to a class of drugs called “dissociative anesthetics,” which separate perception from sensation. It usually comes as a liquid in small bottles and is generally cooked into a white powder for snorting. At low doses it increases the heart rate and at higher doses it depresses consciousness and breathing. It is extremely dangerous when combined with alcohol, valium, or gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB). Ketamine is particularly problematic because the source of the drug is legal.

　　IDenta Corporation (Jerusalem, Israel) is developing a kit that is a field drug detector and does not test body fluids such as blood and urine. The kit can detect the presence of as little as 0.5 mg ketamine with 100% accuracy. The kit will reduce the need for testing people, which is not always reliable because there are many methods available today for “dodging tests,” and also because the substance is present for a limited time in body fluids.
