ST Chow, TK Lee, CG Saw, TW Soon, TL Ng · Journal of Forensic Sciences · 1993
Abstract Although methods for sampling and testing illicit heroin are well known, a method for the homogenization of a heroin sample has not been statistically established. This paper reports the conditions for homogenizing granular or powdery illicit heroin samples using a blender. The experimental results and statistical analysis show that the homogenization of illicit heroin containing various concentrations of diamorphine can be achieved after blending for three min.
