Abstract

L'invention concerne une carte de test pour dépister la présence de drogues illicites dans un liquide, comportant un élément mince et plat présentant la forme et les dimensions d'une carte de crédit. Une pluralité de bandelettes de test immunologique s'étendent longitudinalement du haut vers le base de la carte et sont fixées, en étant juxtaposées parallèlement les unes aux autres, sur l'une ou les deux faces de la carte, à l'intérieur du contour de cette dernière. Chaque bandelette test est réactive afin de fournir une indication visuelle en réaction à la présence de drogues illicites. Cette carte de test permet en outre la détection simultanée d'une pluralité de substances à analyser. L'invention concerne également des procédés pour produire ladite carte de test comportant des bandelettes test sur un ou deux de ses côtés.
