    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.
