Abstract: A portable spectrometer system is disclosed for more reliable and convenient on-site drug testing. More particularly, but not by way of limitation, the presently disclosed and/or claimed inventive concept(s) relates to a portable spectrometer system having a test strip having a fluorescent indicator, a fluorimeter, and a mobile computing device capable of determining the identity of an unknown substance in the sample.

Abstract: The presently disclosed and/or claimed inventive concept(s) relates generally to processes for the non-aqueous hydrolysis of proteins and/or protein-containing materials and, more particularly but without limitation, to methods for producing amino acids from the non-aqueous solid acid hydrolysis of proteins and/or protein-containing materials. More particularly, but without limitation, the methods disclosed herein for producing amino acids from the solid acid hydrolysis of proteins and/or protein-containing materials are performed in a non-aqueous/solvent-free process. In one particular embodiment, the process of producing such amino acids from proteins and/or protein-containing materials includes, without limitation, the step of mechanocatalytically reacting a solid acid with one or more proteins and/or protein containing materials in a non-aqueous/solvent-free process using the solid acid as a catalyst.
