"A piece of technology could change how long it takes drug cases to go to trial. District Attorney Jay Gaither is working to get the technology in Catawba County.
NarTest determines the authenticity of four drugs: methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana and heroin. The determination is used as evidence in a case. It takes the machine about 10 to 15 minutes to match the “fingerprint” of one of those four drugs, said Douglas Branch, marketing director for NarTest Technologies."
