  • Introduction An important element of the UNODC International Quality Assurance Programme (IQAP) is the implementation of the International Collaborative Exercises (ICE). The exercises allow laboratories, from both developing and developed countries, to continuously monitor their performance in drug testing on a truly global scale. This report provides information on analytical results of laboratories participating in the Seized Materials (SM) group. In order to maintain confidentiality, the participating laboratories have been

    assigned random “Web Codes”, which change every round. The analytical results returned by laboratories participating in ICE are evaluated by UNODC and a confidential report is provided to each laboratory on its own performance. The overall analytical results are reviewed by the UNODC’s International Panel of Forensic Experts which oversees the implementation of these exercises, and offers guidance and support in addressing relevant quality issues. The exercises provide an overview of the performance and capacity of participating laboratories and enable UNODC to tailor technical support in the laboratory sector for greatest impact.

    Comments from the International Panel of Forensic Experts Participation of Laboratories In the 2015/2 round of the ICE programme, results were submitted within both the Seized materials (SM)

    and Biological Specimens (BS) test groups by 19 laboratories in 60 countries. Within the SM test group,

    there were 15 participating laboratories from 5 countries and within the BS test group, results were

    submitted by 86 laboratories from 42 countries. Qualitative Analysis The analytical technique most commonly used for screening of test samples in the BS test group was enzyme immunoassays (57% of participants), while GC-MS (84%) was the most commonly used technique for identification/confirmation of the components in the test samples. The results for the qualitative identification of the controlled substances in the BS test group are shown in the table 1.

    Table 1. Qualitative performance of participants in the 2015/2 round of ICE.

    Test sample BS-1

    (Buprenorphine) BS-1

    (Norbuprenorphine)

    Correct identification 66% 40%

    Test sample BS-2

    (MDA) BS-3

    (Methadone) BS-4

    (Nordazepam)

    Correct identification 74% 88% 87%

    BS-1 contained a mixture of buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine which were identified by 6 %, and 40% of participants respectively. There were four false positive results and seven false negatives (where neither component was identified). Twenty laboratories did not carry out analysis for both buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine. BS-2 contained MDA, which was correctly identified by 74% of participants, while there were ten false positive results, eleven false negatives and eleven laboratories did not carry out analysis for this substance BS-3 contained methadone, which was correctly identified by 88% of participants. There were seven false positives, five false negatives and six laboratories did not carry out analysis for Methadone. Finally, BS-4 contained Nordazepam, which was correctly identified by 87% of laboratories. There were six false positives, five false negative results and six laboratories did not carry out analysis for this substance Laboratories reporting false positive or false negative results should investigate the reasons for this and corrective actions should be taken in order to continuously improve performance. ICE participants are reminded that test samples can contain any of the substances in the ICE menu and as such if methods are available, all substances should be considered

  • Quantitative Analysis The four test samples in the BS group for the 2015/2 round of ICE contained a total of five components and

    36 (42%) of participating laboratories performed quantification. Of these laboratories, it is encouraging to

    note that 92% of laboratories quantified at least two components and 41% performed quantification of all components present. GC-MS was used by 56% of participants for quantification, followed by LC/MS(/MS), which was used by 33% of participants. Z-scores obtained by participants in quantification are shown in table 2 (percentage + no. of labs indicated)

    z-score

    Test sample

    |z| < 2, satisfactory 84% (21) 82% (14)

    2 ≤ |z| ≤ 3, questionable 8% (2) 19% (3)

    |z| > 3, unsatisfactory 8% (2) -

    z-score BS-2 (MDA) BS-3 (Methadone) BS-3 (Nordazepam)

    |z| < 2, satisfactory 70% (19) 88% (30) 70% (21)

    2 ≤ |z| ≤ 3, questionable 7% (2) 6% (2) 7% (2)

    |z| > 3, unsatisfactory 25% (7) 6% (2 23% (7)

    According to the recommendations in ISO 13528:2005, an unsatisfactory z-score is considered to give an action signal and a questionable z-score is considered to give a warning signal. A single action signal or warning signals in two successive rounds shall be taken that an anomaly has occurred that requires investigation. Participants with z-scores outside acceptable limits should review their quantification procedures. In the 2015/1 round of ICE, eleven laboratories obtained questionable z-scores with 2 ≤ |z| < 3. Eight of

    these laboratories participated and performed quantification in the 2015/2 round with 100% improving their performance and obtaining acceptable z-scores with |z| < 2 for at least one substance. One laboratory also

    obtained a questionable z-score and two laboratories also obtained unsatisfactory z-scores in 2015/ . Eight laboratories obtained unsatisfactory z-scores in ICE 2015/1 with |z| ≥ 3. Of these laboratories, five participated in ICE 2015/2 and performed quantification, with 4 (80%) improving their performance in at least one substance. Three (60%) of these laboratories also obtained an unsatisfactory z-score in the 2015/2 round of the ICE programme and one laboratory obtained a questionable z-score Laboratories that need to perform quantitation routinely are encouraged to participate regularly in external proficiency testing or collaborative exercises such as the ICE programme. This will enable laboratories to assess the quality of their quantitative methods through the z-score values obtained. Laboratories reporting

    false positive or false negative results should investigate the root causes and corrective actions taken promptly in order to continuously improve performance. Participation in the ICE programme also helps in monitoring the effect of corrective actions. UNODC would like to acknowledge the valuable contribution of the Chemical Metrology Laboratory of the Health Sciences Authority, Singapore, for the provision of specific software used for the quantitative statistical calculations in the ICE programme.

  • New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) reported by laboratories participating in the 2015/2 round of the ICE programme During the 2015/2 round of ICE, participating laboratories provided information on NPS that had been identified in their laboratories. In total there were 190 reports of 115 substances. The most commonly reported substances were synthetic cannabinoids (28%) followed by synthetic cathinones (24%) and phenethylamine group substances (20%) as shown in figure 1.

    Figure 1. NPS reported by ICE laboratories during the 2015/2 round of ICE

    In terms of the mechanism of action of the NPS reported by ICE participants, 43% were stimulants, while

    28% were synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists (SCRA’s) and 19% were hallucinogenic substances as

    shown in figure 2

    Z-Score Report per Sample per Substance

    Robust average = 901 ng/mlUNODC value = 920 ng/ml

    z-scores can be interpreted by participants in line with ISO 13528:2005, section 7.4.2 and ISO/IEC guide43-1:1997(E) as follows:

    |z| < 2 = satisfactory 2 ≤ |z| ≤ 3 = questionable

    |z| > 3 = unsatisfactory

    According to the recommendations in ISO 13528:2005, an unsatisfactory z-score is considered to give an action signal and a questionable z-score is considered to give a warning signal. A single action signal or warning signals in two successive rounds shall be taken that an anomaly has occurred that requires investigation.

    |z| < 2 = satisfactory 2 ≤ |z| ≤ 3 = questionable

    |z| > 3 = unsatisfactory

    According to the recommendations in ISO 13528:2005, an unsatisfactory z-score is considered to give an action signal and a questionable z-score is considered to give a warning signal. A single action signal or warning signals in two successive rounds shall be taken that an anomaly has occurred that requires investigation.
