Description:

Drug-facilitated sexual assault (DFSA) refers to the act of administering drugs or alcohol to a person without their consent with

the intent to incapacitate them and facilitate non-consensual sexual activity. To address this issue, Lab-on-a-Chip devices are being

developed for the on-site, naked-eye detection of date-rape drugs.
