Abstract: The present invention utilizes a fatty acid as an attractant in a method of attracting whiteflies. By using a fatty acid as a whitefly attractant, it is possible to attract whiteflies to a desired location. The fatty acid can be used in a lure or other propagator to provide a dispersion of fatty acid in the air, the variation in the concentration of the fatty acid in the air being such that a whitefly is attracted to the lure as the source of the fatty acid. The use of a fatty acid as an attractant results in significantly higher levels of attraction, as measured by the number of whiteflies attracted to a sticky trap, as compared to the use of color alone.

Abstract: Apparatus for detecting the presence of foreign substances in a beverage. The apparatus for detecting the presence of Gamma-hydroxybutyrate or other drugs in a beverage comprises apparatus wherein cobalt nitrate, oxammonium chloride/ferric chloride, oxammonium sulphate/ferric chloride, 5% ferric chloride, saturated potassium dichromate, toluene/cobalt thiocyanate, chromium (IV) oxide/sulphuric acid carbodiimide salts in combination with oxammonium salts and ferric chloride, or lacmoid is supported on a substrate. The apparatus for detecting the presence of ketamines or other drugs in a beverage comprises apparatus wherein modified-Dragendorff Reagent is supported on a substrate.

Abstract: A testing apparatus in the form of a dip card 10 for testing a fluid medium includes a housing incorporating a grid member 16 provided with openings or tracks 20 for receiving test strips 18. At least one capillary tube 28 communicates between the exterior of the housing and an opening or track 20 in the grid member. The capillary tube 28 enables fluid to pass to a test strip 18 located in the opening 20 in the grid member 16.
