Spikeless could be used at bars, clubs, and restaurants to combat drink spiking and help prevent sexual assaults.

It is made of a paper material that would draw a small amount of the beverage to a chemical-coated bioplastic tip that would change colour within 30 seconds if the drink has been contaminated with drugs like ketamine and GHB.

The team at UBC is now preparing the product for real-world testing and testing with Health Canada .
