Who We Are
iC42 Toxicology Laboratory is a public-health-focused laboratory dedicated to analyzing drug samples and providing clear, accessible information about their contents. Our goal is to support safer decision-making and improve health outcomes through scientific analysis and education.
What We Do
We analyze drug samples to identify their chemical composition, detect unexpected substances, and monitor trends in the drug supply. This information is used to inform individuals, healthcare providers, and the broader community.
Drug checking services provide people with information about what is actually in a substance, helping them better understand potential risks and make more informed decisions. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Why It Matters
The unregulated drug supply is constantly changing, and substances may contain unexpected or highly potent compounds. Drug checking helps reduce harm by identifying these risks and sharing timely information with the community.
Programs like drug checking services play an important role in public health by helping reduce overdose risk, improving awareness, and supporting safer environments. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide accurate, timely, and accessible toxicology data that supports:
- Safer decision-making
- Public health monitoring
- Clinical and community care
- Research and policy development
Our Approach
We combine advanced analytical techniques with clear communication. Beyond individual results, we analyze trends across samples to better understand patterns in the drug supply and share that knowledge broadly.
Drug checking programs often aggregate results to monitor trends and provide insights to healthcare, research, and policy communities. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
