Forensics Application Summary - Case Study

Forensic scientists working with drug enforcement agencies all over the world are faced with the same questions - What is this drug? How pure is it? How was it made? These scientists are presented with a wide range of drug samples, from products or precursors seized at border control to clandestine lab busts, and require a quick and reliable solution that will give specific identification and can also be used quantitatively. It has been recognized that NMR would be an invaluable technique for this purpose, however the costs and maintenance of high field NMR has limited its use. The Magritek Spinsolve benchtop NMR spectrometer is the ideal solution for forensics due to its small footprint, simple sample preparation and superior performance.
