چکیده
This paper deals with the use of modern Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with quick and easy Diamond Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) technique for generating a spectral library of some benzodiazepines of forensic interest. These types of drugs can be seized as bulk street drugs as well as traces found at the scene of crime. There can be legal queries regarding identification of these drugs which a forensic expert has to answer. In these cases, the standard reference database is required for comparison. The modern FTIR systems with diamond ATR proves to be a rapid, sensitive and non-destructive analysis of samples with very little effort. This spectral library can be used as a reference library when an unknown sample is suspected of being benzodiazepine.
