Colorimetry and immunochromatography are two widely used methods in drug testing, each with distinct advantages. Colorimetric tests are simple, cost-effective, and provide rapid visual results but may have lower sensitivity and specificity. Immunochromatographic assays offer higher accuracy, multi-drug detection, and clear interpretation, making them suitable for field and laboratory use. Comparing these methods helps law enforcement, forensic teams, and quality control personnel select the appropriate approach based on detection requirements, sample types, and operational constraints, ensuring reliable, timely, and legally defensible results.

Features:

• Colorimetry: simple, fast, cost-effective

• Immunochromatography: high sensitivity, multi-drug detection

• Enables informed selection for field or lab testing

• Supports reliable and legally defensible results

Scope / Applications:

• On-site drug screening and forensic investigations

• Law enforcement and regulatory compliance

• Quality control in laboratories and production facilities

• Multi-drug and single-drug detection scenarios
