Laboratory Analysis
Forensic & Industrial Science Ltd own and operate our own laboratory in which samples are analysed for methamphetamine, pseudoephedrine and ephedrine via Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). We can analyse for these compounds in surface swabs from Australian clients trained to collect them.
Our analysis of methamphetamine in surface swabs via GC-MS is accredited by International Accreditation New Zealand (IANZ).
Our standard turnaround time to report results is five working days and shorter turnaround times can be arranged with an additional surcharge. Please contact us for sample delivery instructions.

Methamphetamine Consultancy
Staff at Forensic & Industrial Science Ltd are able to consult on laboratory analysis results for methamphetamine surface samples. We are able to interpret analytical results and provide decontamination recommendations.
Obtaining accurate decontamination advice is important as different surface concentrations of methamphetamine require different decontamination actions. For example, lower levels of methamphetamine may be able to be cleaned while higher concentrations of methamphetamine may require full removal of the surface to meet the criteria set by the Australian Crime Commission or the NZS 8510:2017.
Please contact us for more information on methamphetamine consultancy.
Australian Site Inspections
Site inspectors are able to travel to Australia to perform screening or detailed assessments for methamphetamine contamination. Please refer to pages on screening and detailed assessments or contact us for more information on these services.
Sampling for detailed, post-decontamination and screening assessments is accredited by International Accreditation New Zealand (IANZ). All staff at Forensic & Industrial Science Ltd hold a university qualification in Forensic Science and/or Chemistry and are trained in locating signs of clandestine methamphetamine manufacture while on site.
