Drug Checking and Harm Reduction

Drug Checking and Harm Reduction

FT-IR (Fourier-Transform Infrared) Spectroscopy is a powerful, non-destructive technique used for the rapid identification of chemical substances, making it a valuable tool in the field of drug checking. By analyzing the composition of recreational drugs, FT-IR instruments help identify harmful adulterants and impurities—providing users with crucial safety information. Whether used in fixed drug counseling centers or mobile outreach units at music festivals, FT-IR spectroscopy enables quick and accurate substance identification in real-world settings.
This proven technology plays a vital role in Drug Checking and Harm Reduction.
