Drug testing lab at the Kendal Calling festival

The video tutorial explains the process of preparing samples by placing them on a pedestal and crushing them under an anvil to create a fine powder for FTIR analysis. It addresses technical adjustments needed during the process and demonstrates how the system runs infrared scans to determine absorption peaks. The resulting spectrum is compared against a library, identifying a close match for MDMA, the active component in ecstasy.
