Mobile Laboratory
Our protocol provides that the operational confirmation analyzes with tools necessary on the road, with an instrument capable of providing the final result in minutes and a very small amount of saliva (about 200ul), in a completely self-sufficient mobile laboratory and with doctors and analysts .
From this arises the collaboration between Forensic Lab Service and SCIEX, suppliers of the tool for confirmation analyzes.
Benefits
1
As compared to our operating protocol, it is possible to carry out a number of operational checks that are decidedly higher than the old protocol.
2
The tool used complies with the gold standards for forensic confirmation analyzes and is already used in other forensic institutes in Italy.
3
By carrying out the confirmation analyzes directly on the road by our staff, the laboratories usually in charge of the analyzes (see Police laboratory) will not be exposed to an overload of work.
4
Not having to transport the samples to be analyzed, they do not undergo alterations. Therefore, false positives or negatives are eliminated.
5
By eliminating the 10 days of time necessary to confirm the analyzes, all disputes for the withdrawal of the license are possible in the event that the alteration is not confirmed by the analysis laboratory usually used.
6
It is possible, even for statistical purposes only, to verify the intake of molecules per year and not only the 5 known drugs present on screening tests, as the instrument contains a library of about 800 molecules. For example, synthetic cannabinoids.
7
The consumption of substances and new drugs is analyzed in a geo-localized way and this permission to activate the rapid alert system provided by the Department of Drug Policies.
