Illicit tablets

Seizures of millions of illicit tablets, mostly ‘ecstasy’, have been made in many countries, (e.g. UK, France, Germany, Belgium, The Nether lands, USA, China, Poland). These tablets are usually marked with a distinctive logo that often belongs to large commercial organisations (auto mobile manufacturers, mobile phone makers, fashion designers), or are cartoon characters or simple text or currency symbols. The investigation of the illicit production of the synthetic phenethylamines (MDMA, amfetamine) may require the examination of the clan destine ‘laboratories’ that produce the active ingredient as well as tablet-making facilities. Information may be gleaned on the synthetic route to the active substance and batch characteristics by analysis of the impurity profile of the finished tablet .
