Sample Submission

Through grant funding, CFSRE's NPS Discovery is able to offer non-routine, no-cost comprehensive forensic chemistry and toxicology testing for emerging drugs and novel psychoactive substances (NPS), including qualitative and quantitative analyses. Our laboratory accepts biological specimens (e.g., blood, urine, serum, plasma,) and drug materials (e.g., pills, powder, plant materials), among other sample types upon request. For more information and/or to inquire about testing opportunities, please contact our program director Dr. Alex Krotulski (This email address is being protected from spambots.
