Controlled Substances & Illicit Drug Standards

Controlled substances and illicit drugs are chemical compounds whose manufacture, distribution, and use are controlled or prohibited by law due to their abuse, addiction, and adverse effects on health. And whether legally regulated for medical use or illegal, they must be tested to safeguard public health, better inform policy decisions, and encourage safer drug use practices.

Accurate and reliable drug testing and analysis relies heavily on the availability and use of reference standards. These reference standards, which are highly pure and well-characterized, serve as benchmarks for comparison, ensuring the validity and precision of analytical methods used in drug testing. By establishing a standardized framework, reference standards enable consistent and reproducible results across different laboratories, facilitating accurate identification, quantification, and quality control of drugs.
