To enhance the combat effectiveness of drug control, it is necessary to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of drug rapid detection equipment. In this paper, a new drug detection equipment with chemical sensor chip for qualitative analysis of methamphetamine hydrochloride is prepared by using molecular imprinting and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology. The results show that the sensitivity of the chip is still high after 8 times of adsorption and elution, and the change of reflectivity changed value is 98.5% of the initial experiment when the chip is tested after 50 days of placement. The sensor chip based on molecular imprinting and SPR technology can be used to detect methamphetamine in dusts, and the recovery rate is between 97.3% and 101.7%. The rapid drug detection equipment can detect sewage samples, organic samples and dust samples, etc. The detection limit of this equipment can reach 2.97×10-12g/ml (0.003ng/ml), and the test results can be transmitted remotely in real time.
