First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study evaluates a new device that detects codeine in fingerprint sweat. Researchers will compare its accuracy to standard lab methods. 144 healthy adults will provide fingerprints after taking codeine. The goal is to see if this quick, non-invasive method works reliably for drug screening.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
codeine (measured in fingerprint sweat)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a faster, less invasive way to screen for drug use using fingerprints instead of blood or urine.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage device study focused on accuracy, not a treatment. It only tests for codeine, so results may not apply to other drugs.
