About the product

This publication provides a general view of the possible information the drug characterization studies can supply and the operational value for law enforcement investigations. Chemical links between samples can be established, and material from different seizures can be classified into groups of related samples. Consequently, and most useful for law enforcement authorities, specific links between suppliers and users can be established, drug distribution patterns/networks can be built up, and the source, including the geographic origin of drug samples may be identified.
