Fight smuggling and distribution of narcotics
Identification – of both bulk and cut narcotics – is essential in the fight against drug smuggling and distribution. Ideally, identification can occur on-site and in real time, without needing a laboratory for the analysis.
Metrohm provides top-quality analytical instruments for tracing drugs and related materials throughout the supply chain. Our products support local and federal agents with safe, fast, on-site identification of narcotics and cutting agents.
Metrohm actively participates in the development of ASTM and ISO methods that govern testing and quality.

- AN-RA-007Enhancement of Raman intensity for the detection of fentanyl
Fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid, is illegally distributed worldwide. Overdosing can be fatal, causing symptoms like stupor, pupil changes, cyanosis, and respiratory failure. Just 2 mg of fentanyl can be lethal, depending on factors like body size and past usage. Given its severe impact, identifying and detecting fentanyl is crucial, as it has become a major public health crisis. Combining electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (EC-SERS) with screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) offers a fast, effective, and precise method for detecting fentanyl.
