Science for a smarter war on drugs

Quick Summary:

THE Drugs of Abuse Research Laboratory (DARL) of the University Philippines (UP) was able to get a much-needed upgrade to boost its capacity in strengthening the Philippine government’s drug abuse identification, control, and neutralization efforts.

The laboratory utilizes Liquid Chromatography-Quadrupole Time-of-flight Mass Spectrometry (LC-QTOF/MS) to analyze new designer drugs in the hair and point-of-care (POCT) device for testing for the presence of selected new psychoactive substances through urine samples.

We hope that through this, we can help replicate the expertise in regional centers and other state colleges and universities so they too can assist our government in fighting the proliferation of illegal drugs,” Tee said.
