1 SPOT TEST-Chemical 'spot' tests are a presumptive illicit drug identification technique commonly used

by law enforcement, border security personnel, and forensic laboratories

2. IR-can be used in many forensic applications, such as the identification of various inks, sweat prints,
hair, and other fibers, and toxic industrial materials and chemicals, or TIMs and TICs

3. NMR-Used to detect poison organophosphorus pesticides

4. Thin layer chromatography-routinely used to identify and compare samples of drugs, explosives, inks
and biological samples such as saliva, urine, blood and other.

5. Immunoassay-is a type of bio-analytical test where the detection of a target compound (analyte)
depends on a specific antibody-antigen reaction. Antibodies are large proteins produced by the immune
system in response to the presence of antigens.

6. GC-MS- to determine if a deceased person has taken any alcohol or drugs prior to death, as well as
determining if they had been poisoned.

7. LC-MS-is a forensics technique frequently used by toxicologists to analyse substances for suspected
illicit drugs and to confirm the findings of presumptive drug tests

8. HPLC- is one of the separation techniques most frequently used in forensic toxicology

9. UV Spectrometry at 314 nm-Most forensic analysts use UV/vis spectroscopy to examine inks and
fibers and use thin-layer chromatography as a complementary method. WIth spectroscopy, trace
evidence including hairs, fibers and glass can be easily analyzed with high accuracy.

10. Drink Detective- provides the means to detect adulteration of drinks with drugs
