The BCCSU Drug Checking Project is a provincial pilot that partners with harm reduction organizations across British Columbia to implement and evaluate community-based drug checking services. Partner sites in this project use two technologies in combination to check drugs: Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and immunoassay strips that test for the presence of fentanyl or benzodiazepines.
