Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the VeriLinkRx® system by Rudolph Research Analytical, designed to enhance narcotics chain of custody programs in hospital pharmacies. It addresses the issue of drug diversion and provides a solution for validating narcotics like Fentanyl.

Specifications and Features
The VeriLinkRx® system is a high-precision analytical tool that integrates into hospital pharmacy workflows. It offers:
  • Fast testing of returned narcotics, taking only 10 seconds per sample.
  • Capability to test various narcotics, including Morphine, Hydromorphone, and Fentanyl.
  • Storage of measurement data in a searchable database with patient and staff details.
  • High accuracy and reproducibility, with a refractive index accuracy of ±0.00002.
  • Temperature control to stabilize samples at 20°C ± 0.01°C.

Procedures and Integration
The system can be integrated into existing workflows, allowing for routine or random audits of returned narcotics. It helps identify tampered or diluted samples and supports further investigation through third-party testing or urine tests.

Benefits and Recommendations
The VeriLinkRx® system provides a cost-effective, in-house solution to combat drug diversion, reducing the need for outsourced laboratory testing. It is easy to use, requires minimal training, and does not incur additional costs like consumables or monthly fees.

Limitations of Alternative Methods
Handheld refractometers are deemed inadequate due to their limited accuracy and stability, making them unsuitable for distinguishing between substances like Fentanyl and water.

Conclusion
The VeriLinkRx® system is a valuable tool for hospital pharmacies to ensure the integrity of their narcotics chain of custody, offering a reliable method to detect and prevent drug diversion.

Why $200 - $ 1,000 hand held refractometers don’t work? Handheld refractometers are performance limited because their inexpensive components drift and fluctuate with temperature and sample conditions. Handheld refractometers work fine to differentiate between a 10° and 11° Brix food product, but they do not have the refractive index accuracy and temperature control stability to distinguish the Refractive Index difference between substances such as Fentanyl and water. The VeriLinkRx was developed by Rudolph using technology predicated on rigorous pharmaceutical standards such as USP<831>. To meet...
