NPS Discovery Toolkits and Datasheets
The CFSRE is developing NPS Discovery Toolkits & Datasheets as resources to assist collaborators and stakeholder with the identification and determination of NPS. Research outcomes have been consolidated to generate a comprehensive document (“toolkit”) or short reference guide (“datasheet”) detailing relevant information regarding the detection of NPS. These reports may include analytical data, drug information, demographics, date of first appearance, prevalence, temporal and geographic trends, combinations with other NPS or drugs of abuse, metabolism, methods for confirmations, and/or reference concentrations.

Datasheet - Nitazene Analogues
Resources to aid in the identification and determination of specific NPS are key to reducing lag times between detection and reporting. This datasheet can be used to help identify and differentiate specific nitazene analogues based on acquired mass spectral data.

Synthetic Cannabinoid Naming Guide
The CFSRE, in collaboration with Cayman Chemical, is developing and implementing standardized nomenclature and taxonomy in relation to novel psychoactive substance (NPS). The goal of this specific initiative is to improve communications regarding NPS and help eliminate confusion by assigning preferred names and naming guides for future NPS.
