Ehrlich Reagent Test Instructions

Developed by German chemist Paul Ehrlich in the late 19th century, the Ehrlich reagent test is a widely used colorimetric test in forensic toxicology for the presumptive identification of various substances, including illicit drugs like LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide). Its primary function is to detect the presence of indoles, a class of organic compounds found in many hallucinogenic substances. Over the years, the Ehrlich test has played a critical role in drug analysis, aiding law enforcement agencies and healthcare professionals in identifying and classifying potentially dangerous substances, contributing significantly to the field of drug testing and detection.
