NARQ – Roadside Drug Testing Instrument used by The Police on road.
The NARQ system is used in roadside environments by police officers to
screen motorists for illicit drug use. The system includes a disposable
saliva collection cartridge and swabbing pad, as well as a handheld
analysis instrument. The officer instructs the motorist to remove the
green swab from the cartridge to collect a sample; once collected, the
officer then inserts the entire cartridge into the instrument to trigger
an automated analysis, which can detect the presence of up to 8
different drug types. Advanced UV detection technology allows fast,
accurate results in just 2 minutes, relayed to the OLED touch screen.
