Abstract

A new achievement of mobile phone application for fluorometry to identify cocaine concentration using samples made of tested person sweat implementing special designed software has been presented in this paper. Accessibility is one of most dominant features of this method since the main important part is a mobile phone which can be found and used vastly. Reliability of data collected using this technique is strong enough to compete with past time consuming and expensive devices and equipment. The results enable to have a close and precise observation about the amount of cocaine concentration, the same as reference device outputs.
