*'''Ehrlich s''' is used a simple spot test to identify possible psychoactive compounds such as tryptamines (e.g. DMT) and ergoloids (e.g. LSD).

*'''Ehrlich''' is used a simple spot test to identify possible psychoactive compounds such as tryptamines (e.g. DMT) and ergoloids (e.g. LSD).

*'''Folin s''' is a chemical reagent used as a derivatizing agent to measure levels of amines and amino acids.

*'''Froehde''' is used as a simple spot-test to presumptively identify alkaloids, especially opioids, as well as other compounds (Research Chemicals).

*'''Gallic acid''' For the distinction of MDMA, MDA and MDEA, MDP2P, Safrole, opium etc, but mainly specific to substances relating to MDMA.

*'''Liebermann''' is generally used to test for cocaine, morphine, PMA and PMMA, MDMA, certain substances from the 2C and other Research Chemicals etc. Used as a secondary test that tells the difference between methamphetamine and amphetamine, between MDMA and MDA or between methylone and MDPV.

*'''Mandelin''' is generally used for the identification Amphetamines/ Methadone/ Cocaine/ Opium, Research Chemicals etc.

*'''Marquis''' presumptive identification of Amphetamine-type compounds (Speed etc) including Methamphetamine, MDMA (Ecstasy/Molly), MDA, MDE, Opiates (Morphine, Codeine or Heroin), LSD, a general screening agent for other drugs e.g. Research Chemicals etc.

*'''Mecke''' is generally used for the identification of heroin and other opiates (opium etc), LSD, Research Chemicals etc.

*'''~~Scott test~~ (~~Cobalt~~(II) ~~thiocyanate)''' is a screening test~~ for ~~the presence of cocaine~~.

*'''Simon reagent''' - Used to distinguish primary amines (MDA, amphetamine) from secondary amines (MDMA, methamphetamine). Changes to blue for all secondary amines.

*'''~~Simon's A & B'''~~

*'''Zimmermann'''

*'''Zimermann'''

==Storage==

Reagents are primarily sulfuric acid with other potentially dangerous chemicals, and are strong enough to burn skin and clothing. Keep out of eyes and mouth. Wear latex gloves when handling the bottle and cap. If you get some on you, then wash quickly with soap and water. Wash testing surfaces with soap and water as well. Dispose of any unwanted reagent down the sink with running water and baking soda. Store all testing kits in a cold, dark place such as a refrigerator between uses.

*Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or heat

*Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or heat to extend the shelf life

*Keep in a safe place away from children

*Store upright to reduce the chance of leaks
