Drug Identification

Drug identification involves determining the specific substance present in a sample, often for legal, medical, or forensic purposes. This process uses various techniques such as chemical analysis, chromatography, and spectroscopy to analyze the sample's composition and compare it to known substances. Accurate identification ensures proper treatment, enforces laws, and helps prevent the misuse of drugs. It’s a critical step in forensic investigations and healthcare to verify the nature of unknown substances and ensure safety and compliance.
