What if you could drop your drugs off at a vending machine that lets you know they're safe in seconds, without any stigma? UBC researchers will take one step closer to that goal this week when they take a prototype testing robot to Shambhala Music Festival in Salmo, B.C. What is the future of drug testing? Current portable testing techniques require technicians and can't detect more than five compounds in a sample at a time, or specify the levels of any substance below five per cent. The UBC prototype is portable, uses high-performance liquid chromatography-a laboratory-grade technique-and automates much of the checking process.
