Backed By Chemistry.
Built For You.

Our strips use competitive antigen-antibody reactions, modified and validated for high accuracy across diverse beverages — alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

Lateral flow

Strip membrane coated with antibodies specific to common spiking agents. Drug molecules compete with the control line in a calibrated immunoassay reaction.

Modified For Beverage Matrix

Standard immunoassay principles adapted to work accurately in the presence of alcohol, sugars, and other beverage compounds.

Field Validated & MVP Tested

Field trials conducted in 2025–26. Full accuracy statistics will be published post product launch.

Safe Beverage

C 1 2 C 3

All lines present

Lines 1, 2, 3 and C are all present. All antibody binding sites are unoccupied — no adulterant detected. Your drink is safe.

✓ Drink is Safe

Unsafe / Invalid

C 1 2 C 3

Unsafe

Unsafe: Line 1 and/or 2 and/or 3 is absent. Drug molecules have blocked the test line formation. Do NOT consume this drink.

Invalid: If the C line is absent, the test is invalid — discard and use a new device.

⚠️ Do Not Drink — Alert Someone
You can use the strip without the reader. The reader + app combination is recommended for nightclubs and low-visibility settings for discreet, accurate reading and instant emergency alerts and location sharing.
