Nitazenes Research Chemicals and Reference Materials

Nitazenes are a particularly potent group of synthetic opioids that have no medical application, and are abused because they induce feelings of relaxation, detachment and reduced anxiety.

However, they carry significant health risks, including addiction and overdose, and are increasingly being encountered in forensic and clinical toxicological casework - often as an adulterant in other drugs of abuse, such as heroin, benzodiazepines and cocaine.

It is critical to accurately identify and quantify nitazenes in biological samples, so that appropriate treatments can be given in cases of intoxication, for levels of impairment to be understood in forensic casework for drug-facilitated crimes, and to ascertain causes of death.

Nitazene research chemicals and nitazene reference materials play critical roles in understanding nitazene pharmacology and toxicity, in supporting their accurate identification and quantification during casework, and in developing improved methods of analysis.

Our range of nitazene reference materials and nitazene research chemicals includes many commonly encountered compounds - such as isotonitazene, metonitazene, etonitazene and protonitazene – to support your analysis.
