*'''Ehrlich s''' is used a simple spot test to identify possible psychoactive compounds such as tryptamines (e.g. DMT) and ergoloids (e.g. LSD).
{| class="wikitable sortable" style="font-size:smaller" border="1"
*'''Folin s''' is a chemical reagent used as a derivatizing agent to measure levels of amines and amino acids.
! Reagent test
*'''Froehde''' is used as a simple spot-test to presumptively identify alkaloids, especially opioids, as well as other compounds (Research Chemicals).
! Detection of chemical class(es)
*'''Gallic acid''' For the distinction of MDMA, MDA and MDEA, MDP2P, Safrole, opium etc, but mainly specific to substances relating to MDMA.
! Detection examples
*'''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.
! Other
*'''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.
| Chen-Kao
*'''Mecke''' is generally used for the identification of heroin and other opiates (opium etc), LSD, Research Chemicals etc.
| Phenylalkylamines
*'''Scott test (Cobalt(II) thiocyanate)_thiocyanate)''' is a screening test for the presence of cocaine.
| Pseudoephedrine, ephedrine
*'''Simon's A & B'''
|
*'''Zimermann'''
