The accurate analysis of seized drug samples plays a vital role in supporting law enforcement programs that aim to control the manufacture, distribution, and use of illegal drug substances. The overwhelming number of samples can place a huge burden on forensic laboratories. Fast and accurate drug analysis is crucial.
Waters will simplify your lab’s ability to provide accurate drug identification faster with improved sample throughput. With solutions that combine selectivity, ease of operation, and speed without the need for complex sample preparation, chromatographic separation, or extensive mass spectrometry (MS) experience, discover how you can quickly screen samples against a library of known compounds for rapid, confident identification of illicit and controlled drugs in real time.

Identify analytes easily, increase productivity, improve data confidence, and simplify workflows with the new ACQUITY RDa Detector to ensure your laboratory can easily access high resolution seized drug mass measurements.
Achieve highly efficient, rapid separations from industry-leading ultra-low dispersion and delay volume, simplifying the characterization of your most complex seized drug samples.
ACQUITY UPLC H-Class-PDA separation of ten drug substances (0.05 mg/mL) using a CSH C18 Column and detection at 257 nm.
Final chromatography of doping compounds from the initial screening experiments. This separation was achieved on a Torus Diol (OH) Column (130 Å, 1.7 µm, 3.0 x 100 mm) The concentration of all analytes was 500 ng/mL.
Average match scores for spiked paper samples (n=3) infused with 1 mg/mL methanolic solutions of various reference materials, using a 5-minute extraction time.
LiveID analysis of reanalysis of flunitazene CRM. Panel A shows triplicate ‘dip and detect’ analysis for flunitazene reference material and the match factor 962 for the second triplicate. Panel B displays the details for the spectral match with the acquired sample and the new library entry for each cone voltage.
