 How to Recognize the Signs of a Clandestine Methamphetamine Laboratory
When dealing with certain chemicals found in meth production, it becomes necessary to use supplied air; a respirator doesn’t provide enough protection. |

Clan-Lab Classifications
| Lab |
Activity |
| Box Labs |
Areas where lab equipment is merely stored. These areas could include houses, sheds, boats, cars, or commercial storage sites. |
| Synthesis Labs |
These are areas where controlled substances are actually produced. |
| Non-Cooking Operational Labs |
Synthesis labs that are "cold" and not actively in the process of manufacturing controlled substances |
| Extraction Labs |
Sometimes the manufacturing and storage processes are broken into segments or cells. Extraction labs are places where only a partial step in the manufacturing process is carried out. |
| Conversion Labs |
Similar to the "Extraction lab," "conversion labs" may be where a partial step takes place. Conversion labs, however may also be where raw or unrefined drug precursors are chemically altered into a new chemical that is used on the street as the final product. Examples would be: Morphine to heroin; Cocaine HCL to Cocaine base and Gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) to Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate (GHB) |
| Rolling Labs |
Rolling Labs are any of the above labs set in a mobile vehicle such as a train, car, RV, van, truck of car, etc. |
| Tinkle Tweakers |
Tinkle Tweakers are meth users who store their urine and feces, and attempt to recover the un metabolized methamphetamine from those materials. Labs have been found in residences containing dozens upon dozens of 2 liter soft drink bottles filled with urine waiting to be processed. |
