Pilot 2: GHB Detection in Beverages

Objective: GHB is commonly used as a "date rape drug," easily dissolving in drinks without altering taste or appearance. This pilot focuses on detecting GHB in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to prevent drug-facilitated crimes in public venues and social gatherings.

How It Works: ARMADILLO’s detection tools incorporate advanced spectroscopy and electrochemical sensors to analyze beverage samples rapidly. The system is designed for ease of use by law enforcement and venue security personnel.

Impact: The deployment of these tools will enhance public safety, allowing on-the-spot testing at bars, clubs, and events while ensuring swift action to prevent potential assaults.
