Standard Practice for Sampling Seized Drugs for Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This practice provides information for the sampling of seized-drug submissions.

4.2 The principal purpose of sampling in the context of this practice is to answer relevant questions about a population by examination of a portion of the population. For example:

What is the net weight of the population?

What portion of the units of a population can be said to contain a given drug at a given level of confidence?

4.3 By developing a sampling strategy and implementing appropriate sampling schemes, as illustrated in Fig. 1, a laboratory will minimize the total number of required analytical determinations, while ensuring that all relevant legal and scientific requirements are met.
