Presents simplified tests for verifying the identity of pharmaceutical substances and detecting gross degradation. The 321 substances covered represent the majority of drug substances contained in the WHO Model List of Essential Drugs as well as a number of other widely used drug sustances. For each, tests have been devised to serve as a simple and readily applicable method of verification of identity when a fully equipped laboratory is not available. The required reagents and equipment have been kept to a minimum, and reagents that are unstable, corrosive, expensive, or difficult to obtain have been excluded.
