UniveR DID
Universal portable anlyzer (UniveR DID) :
• Testing illicit drugs
• Environmental pollutants
• Explosives or chemical warfare agents in situ, at the place of care
Proof-of-Principle prototype was constructed 2 years ago. Currently team is working to create visual and functional prototype.
