The Venture
Nicole Shamayev (CE '24) developed PreFent, a single-use pocket fentanyl screener designed to make lateral-flow testing faster and more compact for first responders and people at risk of overdose.
PreFent is a single-use pocket fentanyl screener. The mechanism solubilizes a dry chemical to facilitate any lateral flow test; for first responders and individuals susceptible to fentanyl overdose, the PreFent offers a much faster and compact testing time than the conventional method of testing. When it goes to market, the Prefent solution may be a life-saving tool that can be an important part of managing the fentanyl crisis.
