DEA Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) Drugs Analyzed Public Use File

Data on received drugs analyzed in DEA Office of Forensic Sciences laboratories. Data is reported by drug type, by state, and by month.

The DEA Office of Forensic Sciences oversees decentralized accredited laboratories, which analyze evidence obtained by DEA law enforcement to support investigations. The laboratories use a laboratory information management system (LIMS) to receive, process, analyze and store the data. Before 2013, DEA’s LIMS system was referred to as the System to Retrieve Information on Drug Evidence (STRIDE).
