Game changer pagdating sa drug detection ang makabagong technique na na-develop ng UP Manila. Lahat kasi ng compound na kinonsumo sa loob ng isang buwan pwede nang ma-detect gamit lang ang buhok! Tara, let's change the game!

00:00Game changer when it comes to drug detection is the new technique developed by UP Manila.
00:16All compounds consumed within a month can be detected using hair.
00:22Come on, let's change the game.
00:30Within two years, authorities in the country have already started 50 billion pesos worth of illegal drugs.
00:40For users, detection is difficult due to the so-called designer drugs that are not easy to trace and classify in the body.
00:49That's why Drugs of Abuse Research Laboratory was established in UP Manila.
00:57Funded by the Commission on Higher Education, State of the Art Technology built the laboratory to track ever-evolving drugs of abuse and psychoactives.
01:09There are some additions.
01:11They sometimes call it designer drugs, new psychoactive substances.
01:16It is no longer capable of the usual equipment.
01:31The latest in their arsenal,
01:33a 30-million-peso machine that can detect all the substances in a person's body using hair.
01:41Its name is Liquid Chromatography Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry.
01:47There are certain compounds that have a tendency to be left in the hair.
01:52So when it is left in the hair, it is almost forever.
01:57Now, when we get hair, we don't just pluck it.
02:02We cut it.
02:03What's closest to the scalp is the information we get.
02:07The growth is one centimeter per month.
02:10What if it's bald?
02:12Where there's hair, we can get it.
02:15Compared to the 11 compounds that could be detected before,
02:18there are now 1,300 compounds that can be detected simultaneously in this process.
02:24Now, we will get the hair sample from our beautiful model.
02:33It will go through a cleaning process.
02:37It will be pulverized.
02:38And it will be put in an extraction.
02:41This is what it will look like.
02:43It is now in liquid form.
02:45We can now put it in the main machine for data analysis.
02:48This is the machine's final process.
02:50This is what will detect and identify the compounds.
02:54It's not just for illegal substances.
02:57But it's correct.
02:58Even the pharmaceuticals that you take can be seen.
03:03The data from here can also be used in emergency care, rehabilitation, and forensics.
03:14There you have it, Kapuso.
03:15A great advancement in drug detection.
03:17A drug detection that will help not only in fast detection, but also in its treatment.
03:22For GMA Integrated News, I'm Martin Aviar.
03:25Changing the game!
