Forensic chemists can be faced with a wide array of substances to test when attending clandestine drug manufacture crime scenes. Whilst many techniques exist at their disposal - such as chemical colour test reagents and immunoassays - these methods are at best semi-quantitative and often subject to false positives. Electrochemical methods of detection offer a potential solution to this problem, as the equipment is portable, cheap and robust. The analysis is quantitative and, if the electrode/electrolyte combination is designed properly, it can be extremely sensitive and selective. The scientific literature contains many examples of voltammetric analyses of controlled drugs. A square wave voltammetric analysis of the novel psychoactive subst...
