Study Notes
Qualitative Analysis
- Reagents are used to complete qualitative analysis of compounds and essential chemicals in laboratory examination reports.
- Chemical tests are often improved with procedure, and color changes are noted.
Screening Tests
- Color Test: detects psilocin and psilocybin compounds and THC using diazonium salt.
- Simon's Test: detects primary amines like amphetamine using two reagents.
- Marquis' Test: reacts with a wide variety of substances, including alkaloids, and places them into chemical classes by color.
- Duquenois-Levine Test: detects alkaloids, LSD, psilocybin, and mescaline, and can differentiate between them.
- Cobalt thiocyanate Test: detects cannabinoid presence.
- Chen-Kao test: detects THC and other cannabinoids.
- Zimmerman Test: detects psilocin and psilocybin.
Forensic Chemistry
- Forensic chemists use specific tests to identify drug substances.
- Mayer's test: detects alkaloid drugs.
- Erlich's test (Van Urk's test): detects psilocin and psilocybin.
- Dille-Koppanyi test: detects barbiturates.
- HCl test: detects cocaine using acid solubility.
- Liebermann test: detects alkaloids.
- Mandelin test: detects alkaloids using ammonium vanadate.
- Mecke (or La Fon's) test: detects alkaloids.
Confirmatory Tests
- Chromatography: separates components of a mixture by physical properties.
- Spectrophotometry: identifies a drug substance using infrared or mass spectrometry.
- Mass Spectrometry: identifies a drug substance using mass spectrometry.
- A single test that identifies a substance is known as a confirmation.
- A combination of tests is required to prove the drug's identity to the exclusion of all other known chemical substances.
