title: [Drugs detection in street samples].
abstract: The various steps of the analytical process are taken into account with reference to procedural problems linked to sampling operations, too. In particular, these aspects are treated: sampling procedures related to the various aspects of street samples, representative sampling of big amounts of controlled drugs, procedural problems in sampling of small amounts of drugs, the main methods of concealing. Up-to-date methods of extraction and chromatographic analysis are described. In the end, chemical profiling methods used to link different seizures of controlled drugs are briefly discussed.
