Researchers conducted a systematic study of microcrystalline tests for emerging illicit drugs and then examined the infrared spectra of the microcrystals to create a database to mitigate subjectivity of the tests.
Distinguishing Between Structurally Similar Designer Drugs Using an Advanced Method of Chromatography
Date Published
February 25, 2018
Identifying a new drug that is very similar in structure to other drugs is important for investigators. Researchers in this project determined that these drugs may be better separated using ultra high-performance supercritical fluid chromatography.

Synthetic Cathinones Stored in Biological Evidence Can Be Unstable
Date Published
February 11, 2018
Synthetic cathinones, a class of mood-altering stimulants popular among recreational drug users, can be unstable when stored in blood or urine samples, and may be problematic when used as evidence in court.
