Thanks for your help and providing the two pages of responsive documents. I understand this is a voluminous request and hope to narrow it. I'm particularly interested in studies of currency testing; reports and contracts and evaluations of the effectiveness of various testing methods and vendors; and general reports on the level of drug traces on currency at large.
So reports the discuss the implementation of ionscan analysis rather than, as you've provided, an individual report.
I hope this helps to narrow the request, ad thank you for your assistance.
Best,
Michael
