The goal of the project is to develop a field demonstrator of a rapid laboratory diagnostic kit for organophosphate poisoning that enables the measurement of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase activity in capillary blood. As part of the project, innovative solutions will be developed for sample preparation and analysis techniques, allowing for accurate and rapid measurements under field conditions. The result will be a portable diagnostic kit for the rapid detection of organophosphate poisoning in the field.
