This innovative tool is poised to revolutionize forensic drug detection in the field, providing accurate results in under five minutes. PowderTracer™ addresses the urgent need for rapid, reliable drug identification, particularly in the face of the escalating opioid crisis and the increasingly sophisticated methods used by drug traffickers.
PowderTracer™ is specifically designed for use by various agencies, including border patrol and customs, law enforcement and forensics teams, TSA and Homeland Security personnel, correctional facilities, and emergency medical response teams. Its portability and ease of use make it an invaluable asset in diverse settings, from busy border crossings to crowded urban environments. The system's rapid testing capabilities allow for immediate responses to potential threats, enhancing public safety and helping to combat the spread of dangerous drugs.

'The opioid crisis demands innovative solutions, and that's precisely what PowderTracer™ delivers. By providing rapid, reliable identification of dangerous substances, we're empowering those on the front lines to make informed decisions, potentially saving lives and disrupting drug trafficking networks.' said Gino Ajodani. 'This technology will be a lifeline for law enforcement and first responders, helping them keep our communities safer.'
PowderTracer™ detects seven dangerous drugs:
Fentanyl (FYL)
Carfentanil (CFYL)
Cocaine (COC)
Methamphetamine (MET)
Xylazine (XYL)
THC
K2 (synthetic marijuana)
These substances pose significant threats to public safety and health. For example, carfentanil, a drug originally used to tranquilize elephants, is 100 times more potent than fentanyl, with just 2mg capable of killing 50 people. The CDC reports a dramatic increase in carfentanil-related deaths, rising from 29 in early 2023 to 238 by mid-2024, affecting 37 U.S. states. PowderTracer™ empowers law enforcement and first responders to quickly identify these deadly substances, enabling immediate action and potentially saving lives.
The intuitive PowderTracer™ App further enhances the system's capabilities. Field agents simply scan the test's QR code, follow the app's guided instructions, and generate a forensically valid digital report in minutes. The AI-powered reader eliminates subjective interpretation, ensuring precise, automated results and eliminating the risk of misreading faint lines. This feature is crucial for maintaining the integrity of evidence and ensuring compliance with legal standards. The app also offers valuable features like location-based drug trend tracking, providing valuable data for law enforcement and public health officials.

The products and solutions on display demonstrate just how much AI is transforming so many aspects of our lives, from the food we eat and the clothes we wear to how we interact with each other. Our ecosystem partners, including media, investors, incubators, and suppliers, are driving this momentum and nurturing next-generation technologies.'

MONROE, La., June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Northeast Delta Human Services Authority (NEDHSA) is hosting its seventh JiggAerobics event beginning at 6 p.m. June 12 at Monroe Downtown River Market, 316 S. Grand St. NEDHSA Executive Director Dr. Monteic A. Sizer said the event provides a fun and upbeat activity for individuals of all ages and fitness levels.

'By hosting events such as JiggAerobics, we are providing an opportunity for citizens of northeast Louisiana to engage in healthy activities and learn about the interconnectedness of their mental and physical health.' The event is part of NEDHSA's #getfitHSA initiative, which supports NEDHSA's integrated care model by increasing access to healthy activities and informing communities about the importance of staying fit and active.
