it can even detect when medications in packages are the real product
Illegal manufacturers of erectile dysfunction medication beware! Scientists in the UK have invented a new laser that can scan packages in post offices around the country that will mean that fake erectile dysfunction medication can be detected without having to open them. This is likely to mean a big increase in the number of interceptions of fake erectile dysfunction medication that is imported to the United Kingdom everyday.
The laser is sophisticated enough in that it can even detect when medications in packages are the real product and thus only fake erectile dysfunction medication will be impounded. The way the laser works is by using a sophisticated imaging technology which can identify the light signature of the drugs important compounds. It can identify them whether the parcel is packed up in plastic or in cardboard.
If this technology is developed further it will be able to be made to stop the import of not only fake erectile dysfunction medication but also fake weight loss medications and in fact any other fake medication that is sent through the post. It could also be used to help customs officers in airports to detect materials that could be used by terrorists.
The scale of the fake erectile dysfunction medication market is such that the big drug companies are losing out on millions of pounds of revenue every single year and are very keen to exploit any new method of catching the criminals who send the dangerous medications to men in the United Kingdom.
The new laser was developed by the Central Laser Facility based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire along with scientists and researchers from Imperial College and the University of Oxford. It is probable that in the near future these incredible lasers will be found in all mail sorting facilities in the United Kingdom and thus the scanning of packages will become routine practice.
At Ukmedix News we hope this new technology will put an end to the illegal importation of fake impotence medication into the United Kingdom.
