SHILLONG:
The Forensic Science Laboratory, Shillong got a new Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer, an analytical method that combines the features of gas-chromatography and mass spectrometry to identify different substances within a test sample.
Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma took to Twitter on August 9 evening to inform about this development.
“The installation of new Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer in the Forensic Science Laboratory, Shillong heralds a new era in our continuing #WarOnDrugs,” he tweeted.
Terming it as a “monumental milestone”, Sangma said the results of qualitative and quantitative analyses of NDPS Exhibits are rapid, precise, and more importantly free from external testing reliance.
