NCT ID NCT07399574
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study checks if a new portable device can accurately measure diquat (a toxic herbicide) in blood samples from 60 people with suspected poisoning. The goal is to see if the new method matches the standard lab test. If successful, it could help doctors diagnose poisoning faster and more easily.
