Forensic certainty for the institutions that need to act.
Drink spiking and drug-facilitated harm show up differently in every setting — a campus, a venue, a street stop. DrugLab118 provides the validated detection tools and technical evidence each of these institutions needs.
The new spiking offence needs evidence to work. Your institution needs infrastructure.
Drink spiking disproportionately affects university-age women in social environments. The government's own university spiking working group — chaired by the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Exeter — is actively defining best practice for campuses.
DrugLab118 provides the validated detection tools and technical evidence that procurement officers, welfare directors, and student unions need to act with confidence — from freshers' week welfare packs to standing stock behind the bar in a student union venue.
- Student welfare and freshers' week distribution programmes.
- Student union and campus bar deployment.
- Evidence and procurement packs for safeguarding committees.
Duty of care is no longer optional. Licensing compliance now requires it.
Following changes to Section 182 guidance on the Licensing Act 2003, licensing authorities are imposing requirements on venues to demonstrate spiking safeguards. Canterbury City Council has already reduced a venue's operating hours for failing to meet the standard.
We provide formats designed for the bar environment — pocket strips, drink covers, and festival bracelets — with co-branding available for multi-venue operators and festival organisers.
- Bars, nightclubs, and licensed premises of any size.
- Festivals and multi-day events, with bracelet formats.
- Co-branded roll-outs for multi-venue groups and operators.
Detection that feeds the evidence chain, not the bin.
DrugLab118's DrugDetective provides law enforcement with field-deployable, forensic-grade surface and substance detection. Results in seconds — no laboratory delay, no loss of evidential chain.
The Home Office is actively researching which commercially available detection kits work. DrugLab118 is the company that publishes the data to answer that question — GC/MS comparison figures, cross-reactivity testing, and field trial results from forces already using our products.
- Stop and search, street crime operations, and border force.
- Institutional and venue security teams.
- Field trial data from Devon & Cornwall Police's Plymouth programme.
