Counterfeit Money Detector Pen
Just place a mark anywhere on the suspect bill. If the mark stays amber, the bill is genuine U.S. currency; if the mark turns black, the money may be counterfeit. Ordinary paper contains starch, while U.S. currency paper does not. The pen “ink” contains an iodine–potassium iodide solution that when combined with starch, produces a characteristic blue complex.

Analysis of Over-the-Counter Drugs— Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Learn to analyze and identify over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and common antacids. Students test a variety of physical and chemical properties of actual OTC drug samples and then use their test results to analyze unknown pain reliever and antacid samples. Instructor’s Notes and reproducible student handouts included. Over-the-counter drug samples—pain relievers and antacids—and specialized equipment are provided in the kit.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs. Fifteen 24-well reaction plates are needed and available separately.
Identification of Unknown Substances I—
Forensic Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
The FBI Crime Laboratory works closely with pharmaceutical compa- nies to produce tests for drugs they develop. The “standards” are critical for the proper identification of “unknown” drugs at a later time. Accurate drug identification has many crime scene implications. In this activity, students will assume the role of a crime lab chemist and create a set of standards for the identification of four simulated drugs. Once the set of standards has been established, students will perform chemical tests on an “unknown” simulated drug found at a crime scene. This laboratory, set in a crime scene scenario, will create enormous interest and motivate students to learn numerous chemistry procedures. All simulated drugs and chemical test materials are provided as well as detailed instructor and student materials.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.
Identification of Unknown Substances II—
Forensic Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Drug-related crimes are extremely common. Just like crime scene investigators, your students will use thin-layer chromatography to separate and identify unknown drugs. Over-the-counter drugs to be tested are aspirin, acetaminophen, caffeine and a mystery substance. Your advanced students will enjoy using thin-layer chromatography and will marvel at the precision that can be achieved with this chemical separation technique. Kit includes TLC plates, development jars, micro- capillary tubes, test solutions, and developing chemicals.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs. A short-wave UV light source is required and available separately.
