Rapid CYBERNOSE ® detection of illicit drugs and precursor chemicals

CyBERNOSE®快速检测非法药物和前体化学品。该项目旨在开发一种基于CyBERNOSE®技术的新型生物传感器原型，以快速识别隐蔽环境中非法药物和前体化学品的挥发性痕迹。CyBERNOSE®技术使用高度复杂和灵敏的微型线虫嗅觉感受器连接到光电探测器的传感器。对快速、非接触式筛查设备以检测和识别进入澳大利亚的非法药物和前体的需求从未像现在这样强烈。执法机构应该直接受益于更快速地检查人员和货物的能力，提高非法药物侦查的效率和保护我们的边界。

Rapid CYBERNOSE ® detection of illicit drugs and precursor chemicals. This project aims to develop a novel biosensor prototype based on CYBERNOSE® technology to rapidly identify volatile traces of illicit drugs and precursor chemicals in concealed environments. The CYBERNOSE® technology employs sensors using the highly sophisticated and sensitive olfactory receptors of microscopic nematode worms linked to an optoelectronic detector. The need for rapid, non-contact screening devices to detect and identify illicit drugs and precursors entering Australia has never been greater. Law enforcement agencies should directly benefit from the capability to more rapidly screen people and cargo, improving efficiency of illicit drug detection and protection of our borders.
