Backed By Chemistry.
Built For You.

Our strips use competitive antigen-antibody reactions, modified and validated for high accuracy across diverse beverages — alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

Lateral Flow Immunoassay

Modified For Beverage Matrix

Standard immunoassay principles adapted to work accurately in the presence of alcohol, sugars, and other beverage compounds.

Field Validated & MVP Tested

Field trials conducted in 2025–26. Full accuracy statistics will be published post product launch.

⚠️ Do Not Drink — Alert Someone
