The last decade has seen a proliferation in ‘designer drugs’ created by changing the molecular structure of one or more existing drugs to create a new substance.

As an innovative manufacturer striving to improve testing capabilities within the forensic toxicology laboratory, Randox
The Drugs of Abuse Array V (DoA V) will allow forensic toxicologists to detect eight designer drugs and their metabolites within a single undivided specimen. The panel targets Methcathinone, Mephedrone, MDPV (also known as bath salts), Benzylpiperazines, Phenylpiperazines, Mescaline, Salvinorin and a number of Synthetic Cannabinoids. The superior ability to screen for these drugs simultaneously, offers substantial time and labour savings within the laboratory, with an added benefit of no specimen preparation requirements. DoA V will be available for rapid multiplexing in urine and blood. With over fifty assays currently in development for drugs of abuse testing, these designer drug assays are just some of the many novel tests available first from Randox
