Drug-Checking in Austria
The Vienna Project CheckIt! <http://www.checkyourdrugs.at/> offers chemical analyses of substance samples at some dance events, using a mobile lab belonging to the Vienna General Hospital (HPLC technique, toxicological analysis system Bio-Rad Remedi Drug Profiling System and in the future also liquid chromatography coupled with mass specroscopy [LC/MS]). The service can be accessed anonymously and free of charge. The results are announced within half an hour of sample submission – it will often be available within a few minutes. A few days after the event, the results of the analyses are published on the project’s homepage.
