Purposes


Chemical testing might have a variety of purposes, such as:



  • Determine if, or verify that, the requirements of a specification, regulation, or contract are met

  • Decide if a new product development program is on track: Demonstrate proof of concept

  • Demonstrate the utility of a proposed patent

  • Determine the interactions of a sample with other known substances

  • Determine the composition of a sample

  • Provide standard data for other scientific, medical, and Quality assurance functions

  • Validate suitability for end-use

  • Provide a basis for Technical communication

  • Provide a technical means of comparison of several options

  • Provide evidence in legal proceedings





Biochemical tests




  • Clinistrips quantitatively test for sugar in urine

  • The Kastle-Meyer test tests for the presence of blood


  • Salicylate testing is a category of drug testing that is focused on detecting salicylates such as acetylsalicylic acid for either biochemical or medical purposes.

  • The Phadebas test tests for the presence of saliva for forensic purposes


  • Iodine solution tests for starch

  • The Van Slyke determination tests for specific amino acids

  • The Zimmermann test for Ketosteroids


  • Seliwanoff's test for differentiating between aldose and ketose sugars

  • Test for lipids: add ethanol to sample, then shake; add water to the solution, and shake again. If fat is present, the product turns milky white.


  • Sakaguchi test for the presence of arginine in protein


  • Hopkins Cole reaction for the presence of tryptophan in proteins


  • Nitroprusside reaction for the presence of free thiol groups of cysteine in proteins

  • Pauly reaction for presence of tyrosine or histidine in proteins


  • Heller's test for presence of albumin in urine


  • Gmelin's test for the presence of bile pigments in urine


  • Hay's test for the presence of bile pigments in urine



Reducing sugars





  • Barfoed's test tests for reducing polysaccharides or disaccharides


  • Benedict's reagent tests for reducing sugars or aldehydes
