Handheld FT-Raman spectroscopy can complement GC–MS and IR in characterizing street drugs.

The results of this study showed that orbital raster scanning (ORS) technology, which ensured a greater interrogation area, also resolved issues of conventional Raman spectroscopy, such as low spectrum intensity and resolution.

Special Issues
Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) techniques offer advantages in separating and confirming the identity of constituents in novel psychoactive substances.
