Cayman Chemical Company is an American biotechnology company founded in 1980, headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan.[1] The company provides chemicals that are used primarily by universities and pharmaceutical companies for research and the development of medicines.[2][3] The company is also known as a provider of reference standards to state and federal crime labs for use in the detection of rapidly evolving designer drugs. Small quantities of these known reference standards are analyzed using mass spectrometry and gas chromatography techniques to match against forensic evidence, usually confiscated by law enforcement, or forensic toxicological evidence collected in the form of biological samples such as urine, blood, or tissue.
