Amplifi ID Drug Checking System

The  Amplifi ID Advantage

Experience the power of precision in 3 effortless steps

Dilute

Dilute the drug sample to prepare it for analysis.

1

Shoot

Effortlessly scan the prepared sample with the Amplifi ID Reader.

2

Analyze

Our software analyzes the signal and provides plain language results. 

3

Within just 10 minutes, assess the composition of the drug sample and gain valuable insights.

How it works: Enhanced Molecular Fingerprinting
Proprietary Sensing Platform

Amplifi ID leverages the power of portable Raman spectroscopy and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) to detect unique scattered light signatures from samples.

 

These signatures are so information rich and specific to organic substances that scientists have coined them “molecular fingerprints”.

Machine Learning Analysis

Our software then uses machine learning algorithms and our own proprietary database of molecular fingerprints collected from physical drug samples to translate fingerprints of an unknown sample into a simple to read result.

Detect what matters most.

Key substances in our library include:

Synthetic Opioids

Synthetic opioids are far more potent than naturally derived compounds like morphine and heroin, and samples on the illicit marketplace are rarely pure. Opioid samples are often cut with other compounds (including other unexpected opioids), while they are also often present in samples where no opioids are expected.

Fentanyl Analogues

Fentanyl and its analogues ('Fentalogues') are highly potent, rapid-acting synthetic opioids that depress central nervous system and breathing function. Fentalogues can have dangerous effects when mixed with other active agents like benzodiazepines, or when consumed by people with lower opioid tolerances. 

Relative potency (Morphine = 1): 100 (Fentanyl), 10,000 (Carfentanil)

Nitazenes

A relative newcomer with comparable potency to fentanyl, isotonitazene and other "nitazene" opioids have become a steady presence in the opioid supply. 
Relative potency (Morphine = 1): ~200

Benzodiazepines

Benzodiazepines ('Benzos') have extremely powerful synergistic interactions with opioids (and other depressants) which makes them dangerous cutting agents. Although an antagonist does exist to reverse the effects of an overdose (flumazenil), it has a much shorter duration and greater risk of side effects than naloxone. It is therefore not widely distributed for frontline use.

Etizolam

Etizolam is technically a thienodiazepine with distinct structural differences from benzos. Widely available benzodiazepine test kits have had difficulty detecting it.  
Estimated relative potency (Diazepam = 1): 5

Flualprazolam

Estimated relative potency (Diazepam = 1): 40 

Flubromazolam

Estimated relative potency (Diazepam = 1): 130

Other Drugs

Beyond Fentanyl Analogues and Benzodiazepines, there are a range of substances that Amplifi ID can help you detect and analyze.

MDMA

MDMA (or ecstasy, Molly) is often known as a 'party drug' that acts as a stimulant and hallucinogen.

Methamphetamine

Methamphetamine is a synthetic drug and a central nervous system stimulant that is known for its psychoactive effects. Its use can make people feel alert and energetic; however, it also produces harmful physiological and psychological effects, which can worsen with regular long-term use. 

Xylazine

Xylazine poses the same dangers as most depressants, with central nervous system depression leading to slowed breathing and lowered heart rate, which may be life-threatening. No known competitive antagonist (naloxone equivalent) to reverse overdose. Chronic xylazine use can cause deoxygenation, which inhibits wound healing, causes severe ulcers, and even lead to amputations in extreme cases.
