ND SCAN's mission is to help emergency responders and care providers understand what is in the local drug supply, so they can enable people to get better when they need help. Our lab includes sensitive mass spectrometers that can analyze residual drugs on "drug trash."

Explore these outcomes, which can enable people who use drugs to make safer decisions and connect with necessary care and treatment, while providing emergency responders and caregivers with the information they need to provide appropriate treatment.
