Kratom use continues to rise in the United States, bringing new analytical and interpretive challenges to crime labs and death investigators. Unregulated products may contain enhanced or chemically modified alkaloids, including 7-hydroxy mitragynine and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, compounds with opioid-receptor activity and increasing safety concerns.​
The Expanded Kratom Alkaloid panel from NMS Labs will add quantitative results for 7-hydroxy mitragynine and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl for blood, serum/plasma, and urine, in addition to mitragynine. Testing for dihydro-7-hydroxy mitragynine, a synthetic kratom alkaloid referred to as MGM-15, will also be available in blood.​
These tests, among the first of their kind of the market, will be supported by the market-leading resources and reputation of NMS Labs: ​
• Enhanced understanding of overdose etiology with partnership with CFSRE ​
• Ongoing surveillance of illicit and pharmaceutical drug trends ​
• Reliable and trusted results that meet forensic medicolegal standards ​
• More than 20 toxicologists available for consultations and testimony ​
