Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The aim of the study is to test whether the technical sensor DrugAsens® is able to deliver fully quantitative and valid results for the detection of Delta9-THC in saliva on the basis of its novel technology. The test system is expected to demonstrate high selectivity and agreement of its quantitative results in comparison to the forensically validated (chromatographic) reference method. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Proof of the validity of the pre-test results is a prerequisite for further developments/tests towards the routine suitability of the DrugAsens® (e.g. handling by trained laypersons etc.). | — |
