Abstract
This study was undertaken to explore the feasibility of using Raman spectroscopy as a means of identifying drugs in the forensic laboratory. Raman spectra of a group of sympathomimetic amines, in pure form and in pharmaceutical preparations, were obtained and compared; group similarities and individual differences were found, and satisfactory identifications could be made. Water solutions as well as solids were examined. The procedure is rapid, sensitive, simple, and non-destructive.
