Description

ContraSCAN represents the latest in on-site synthetic drug screening. Rather than sending a sample away for lab analysis, it identifies synthetic cannabinoids optically, directly at the point of screening, and returns a high-confidence presumptive result in seconds. Screening stays non-destructive, so the item being tested remains intact if a case moves forward. It’s built for the realities of frontline work in prisons, correctional facilities, law enforcement and other secure environments, where a fast, informed decision matters more than a lab turnaround time.

Why security teams choose ContraSCAN

  • Decide at the point of screening. A high-confidence presumptive result in seconds, with no lab turnaround.
  • Evidence stays intact. Non-destructive testing preserves the item for further evidential use.
  • Faster mail rooms and gates. Increases screening throughput at mail rooms, gates and reception points.
  • Safer for staff. Keeps staff at a safer distance from handling potent synthetic substances directly.
  • Built for the front line. A portable, handheld design for day-to-day use.

Applications

  • Prison mail rooms: screening incoming mail and paper documents.
  • Gates and reception points: checking personal items and clothing.
  • Law enforcement: on-site presumptive screening.
  • Secure and government sites: wherever synthetic drug infiltration is a risk.

FAQs

Does ContraSCAN require lab confirmation before staff can act?

No. It’s designed to give a high-confidence presumptive result on the spot, so staff can make an immediate operational decision without waiting on external lab analysis.

Does testing destroy the item being screened?

No. Screening is non-destructive, which keeps the item intact if it’s needed as evidence afterwards.

What is ContraSCAN designed to detect?

Synthetic cannabinoids such as Spice, which are commonly soaked into paper, mail and clothing to smuggle them into secure facilities.
