Since 2009 the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has been organizing and conducting confidence-building exercises for biomedical samples analysis. The purpose of the exercises was to begin and continue building expertise in the analysis of biomedical samples relevant to the investigation of incidents of alleged use of chemical weapons. The exercise consists of a number of samples for which the laboratory will be request to identify and determine the approximate concentration of a specified set of metabolic products of Chemical Weapons Convention scheduled chemicals.The paper provides an overview of the current status of the confidence-building exercises and the implication of the Scientific Research Centre for CBRN Defence and Ecology to the OPCW’s programme for biomedical samples analysis.
