High-temperature conditions can significantly affect the performance of portable drug detection devices used in law enforcement and forensic applications. Excessive heat may degrade reagents, reduce sensor accuracy, and compromise detection sensitivity, potentially leading to false negatives. Evaluating device performance under elevated temperatures ensures reliability in various field environments. Proper storage, calibration, and operational protocols mitigate heat-related effects, maintaining accuracy and consistency. Understanding high-temperature performance is critical for officers and investigators conducting roadside checks, emergency responses, and on-site screenings in hot climates.
