Nature of Business
Specializing in high-performance liquid chromatography-chip-mass spectrometry (HPLC-Chip-MS/MS)
Company Short Description
Wah Kin Holdings Limited is established in September 2010 targeting to utilize advanced hair drug technology to mitigate the increasing trend of drug abuse issues in Hong Kong, and in turn, create a harmonious society. Moreover, we could also detect harmful chemicals in hairs, providing easy healthcare service to the public.
Company Information
Wah Kin Holdings Limited is founded in September 2010. Our company has patented a unique drug testing technology through the use of hair and it is far superior, in terms of reliability and efficiency, to traditional drug testing methodologies. Besides, we are able to detect over ten common drugs such as ketamine, cocaine, heroin, MDMA and amphetamine in our testing service.
Through our testing services, we hope to bring out low-cost drug-detecting services to local parties such as social centres, schools, corporations and etc. and hope that this will help to deter the increasing trend of drug abuse in Hong Kong.
Business Model
Providing Hair Drug Residues Testing for the public.
Marketing Opportunities
There are about 20,000 regular drug abusers around in Hong Kong. The high number, combined with the growing concern of drug abuse in the city, would create market demand for drug testing. The first market entry would be carried in Hong Kong, followed by Mainland China, and then possibly overseas markets.
1). The market segments that we are particularly targeting are as follows:
I. Education Sector
II. Social Working Units/ Rehabs
III. Corporations
2) Revenue Streams:
Wah Kin would receive our revenues by providing drug-testing services to the aforementioned sectors in a contract-based subscription in which our clients would agree to provide a certain number of samples for testing every month. This allows our company to receive stable revenue in long term.
Invention - Method And System for Detecting Residual Poison in Human Body
A method and a system for detecting residual poison in the human body are provided. Using HPLC-Chip-MS/MS and HPLC-MS/MS to test the residual poison, the method includes sample preparation, LC separation and MS detection. The invention has the advantages of low consumption, strong specificity, low detection limit, high sensitivity, low cost, high accuracy, stability and so on.
Highlight of the Technology
Wah Kin Holdings Limited has developed a nano HPLC-MS/MS technology in the detection of drug residues of picogram level in the hair of drug addicts. The advantages of this new technology over the existing ones are that:
1). Sensitive: Our technology is more sensitive than traditional hair testing technologies
2). Historical Profiling: We can reliably reveal the chemical or drug intake history by examining different segments of the hair and thus would be able to understand drug abuse behavior.
3). Multiple drug targets: Our service can test for the following 13 common abused drugs:
I. Cannabis: THC
II. Cocaine: Benzoylecgonine (BE), Norcocaine (NC), Cocaethylene (CE).
III. Opiates: Heroin, Morphine, Methadone, Codeine.
IV. Phencyclidine(PCP)
V. Ketamine: Norketamine
VI. Amphetamines: Amphetamine, Methamphetamine, MDMA, MDMA metabolites, MDEA.
4). Efficiency: Our technology is relatively inexpensive and the time required for testing is short.
