TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Detection of drugs of abuse by Raman spectroscopy JO - Drug testing and analysis A1 - West, Matthew J. A1 - Went, Michael J. SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Raman spectroscopy can provide rapid, sensitive, non-destructive analysis of a variety of drug types (e.g. amphetamines, alkaloids, designer drugs, and date rape drugs). This review concentrates on developments in the past 15 years. It considers identification and quantification of drugs of abuse in different types of forensic evidence, including bulk street drugs as well as traces found in drinks, on fibres/clothing, in fingerprints, on fingernails, on bank notes, and in body fluids.
