The "Kush" Crisis in Sierra Leone and Guinea Bissau:
- Executed pioneering FTIR spectroscopic research in Guinea-Bissau and Sierra Leone to identify lethal contaminants in response to a declared national emergency.
- Advanced Substance Identification: Conducted over 150 field tests.Nitazenes were detected in 78% of the Kush samples overall (including 83% of samples in Sierra Leone), providing the data necessary to move from guesswork to practical, life-saving action in western Africa.
Our Impact & Expertise
Market Insight & Analysis
We analyze the actual contents of the drug market to provide insights that keep communities safe.
Policy & Regulatory Influence
We work in tandem with global policy organizations to reform regulations, refine safety protocols, and ensure drug users are supported by evidence-based systems.
A Legacy of Discovery
We are at the forefront of substance identification. We were the first documented to identify the harmful MDMA adulterant -Ethylpentylone in the US, and helped develop the very reagent kits (Folin, Liebermann, and Morris) that are now considered industry standard for Piperazine, Ketamine, and Cocaine identification.
