  1. Rapid screening and identification of illegal Drugs by IR Absorption spectroscopy and gas Chromatography (DIRAC) S. Zampolli, I.Elmi, GC.Cardinali Theme 10: Security, Cooperation Programme Topic: SEC-2009.1.3.2: Drug precursors Proposal #: 242309 Proposal deadline: 8 dec 2008 Duration: 42 months Evaluation summary (mar 2009) Total: 12.5/15 S/T quality: 4/5 Implementation: 4/5 Impact: 4.5/5 • Status: 1st project in the “reserve list” April 2009 (unofficial communication): accepted for negotiation

  2. Partnership • Consorzio CREO - L‘Aquila, Italia (Coordinatore) • Fraunhofer Institute IPM - Friburgo, Germania • CNR IMM - Bologna, Italia • EADS Innovation Works - Monaco di Baviera, Germania • Elsag Datamat SpA - Italia • Universite de Lausanne - Losanna, Svizzera • University "Dunarea de Jos" - Galati, Romania • National Institute for Criminalistics and Criminology - Bruxelles, Belgio • National Bureau of Investigation - Helsinky, Finlandia • CNISM - Unità di Parma – Parma, Italia

  3. Project aim and concept Advanced sensor system to “recognize and detect” illicit drugs, illicit drug precursors and potential derivatives of key precursors (Amphetamine-type-stimulants - ATS) Innovative aspects • Miniaturized Gas Chromatography (GC) as key chemical separation tool • Hollow-Fiber-based Infra Red Absorption Spectroscopy (HF-IRAS) as key analytical tool

  4. Sensor system Sequence of operations and building blocks

  5. Particle selective collection • Molecules with amine groups have a high proton affinity

  6. Preconcentration modules: vapour-phase • to treat analytes that can be vaporised without thermal decomposition: free-base form amphetamines and precursors • selective-trapping using quinoxaline cavitands (aromatic amines) • flow-matching

  7. Preconcentration modules: liquid-phase detection of the ammonium salts of amphetamines (very low vapour pressure) selective trapping by phosphonate cavitands on Si

  8. HF-IRAS module

  9. GC module and detectors GC column and micro-fluidic circuitry MOX and Surface Ionization (SI) detectors MOX array (IMM) SI detector (EADS) Example of MEMS based GC module GC column (IMM)

  10. WPs and partner roles

  11. Project costs and EC contribution
