Controlled substances examinations can establish trace-drug presence, identity, and quantity.

Bulk Drugs

The Laboratory limits the quantity of bulk drugs that it will analyze. Quantities exceeding 100 grams of marijuana or 10 grams of all other drugs including cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin will be returned unanalyzed. The Laboratory usually only analyzes drugs seized in federal investigations.

Drug Residue

Requests for drug residue examinations on evidence will only be accepted if the evidence is properly packaged to avoid contamination. Drug residue examinations of currency are performed only on a limited basis.
