We are glad to note the increasing number of drug checking projects and services across the world, along with the advancements in the technologies being used. In recent years, the adoption of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, also known as FTIR, for rapid substance identification has expanded significantly.
Fortunately, there are dedicated organizations in this field who provide free access to libraries of FTIR spectra and are committed to regularly updating these resources. However, the identification of new compounds emerging on the market remains a challenge. To address this limitation, we maintain a library of FTIR spectra focused on newly emerging and uncommon psychoactive compounds that are not found in standard libraries, complementing and expanding existing resources.
We update this library regularly with new spectra and offer it free of charge to organizations, projects, and harm reduction services utilizing FTIR technology.
