Simplifying the Complexity of Powdered Mixtures
Helping Labs and Law Enforcement find the Undetectable in Street Drugs
VeriChem’s MagLev technology separates and concentrates components in complex mixtures, exposing trace levels of substances such as fentanyl, often hidden by other substances. Its patented magnetic levitation overcomes the challenges traditional detection methods face with low concentrations and masking agents.
Unparalleled Separation
MagLev isolates compounds based on density, enabling labs to separate multiple components in complex mixtures, even at concentrations below 1%.
Complementary to Detection Tools
Enhances Raman/FTIR and colorimetric sensitivity by isolating and concentrating target compounds, especially valuable for dilute or multi-component samples.
Non-Destructive
Samples placed in the cartridge filled with magnetic fluid remain undamaged, ensuring their integrity is preserved throughout the chain of custody. This allows for further laboratory tests by your forensic team.
MagLev for Forensic Labs & Law Enforcement
Through its innovative separation technique, MagLev suspends and isolates each compound in distinct layers, facilitating effortless extraction by your laboratory for in-depth analysis.
- Innovative Separation & Sample Prep Method
- Cost-Effective Sustainability
- Uncovers Very Low Concentrations
- Does Not Dissolve Powders
Get More Accurate Substance Identification in 3-easy Steps
01
Add Mixture to Container
Add a small amount of the powdered sample into our proprietary separation fluid.
02
Place Container Between the Magnets
Patented technology separates substances into individual layers based on density.
03
Scan or Extract
Once a mixture is separated, the individual layers can be scanned using a portable Raman/FTIR device or easily extract the substance you want for further analysis such GC-MS.
In 2022, provisional data indicated that more than two thirds (68%) of the reported drug overdose deaths in the United States involved, principally illicitly manufactured fentanyls (IMFs).
A few grains of sand worth of fentanyl can be lethal.
Fentanyl Crisis
A silent killer is among us.
In the shadows of modern society, a silent epidemic rages on. Fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid, has become a pervasive threat, claiming countless lives and shattering communities. At VeriChem, we’re committed to confronting this crisis head-on, leveraging cutting-edge technology to make a tangible difference.
MagLev
Non-Destructive Sample Prep Method
MagLev separates complex mixtures of unknown powders, revealing trace substances with precision through its patented magnetic levitation technology.
Non-Destructive
Preserves the sample integrity, facilitating subsequent, more precise testing if needed.
Separation in Minutes
Accelerates presumptive drug identification methods by separating complex mixtures in minutes.
Separation of Complex Mixtures
Excelling in exposing low concentration components, that can be hidden in complex mixtures.
Enhances Detection
Enhances techniques like Raman/FTIR-ATR, addressing detection limitations from complex mixtures.
Reveals Low Concentration Substances
MagLev is able to discover very low concentrations of chemical substances below the threshold of current technology.
Portability and User-Friendliness
Simplifies field-based illicit drug screening and identification.
Presumptive Field Test Failures
This year 773,000 people will be arrested based on field drug tests with known accuracy problems
A pathbreaking Quattrone Center report shows that the use of presumptive field tests in drug arrests is one of largest known contributing factors to wrongful arrests and convictions.
Keeping pace.
Law enforcement and Forensic Labs face constant difficulties in accurately detecting synthetic substances in low concentrations added to street drug mixtures. Even with the latest technology available, false positive/negative rates can occur, exacerbating the crisis, demanding new, urgent and effective solutions.
Sample prep for powders.
MagLev offers a leap forward in forensic technology, providing labs with an innovative solution for the rapid and precise separation of complex mixtures. By leveraging magnetic levitation, MagLev simplifies the preparation of samples for analysis, making it faster and more efficient than ever before.
