Having collected the data, a calibration curve should be<br />

plotted. Since amphetamine is frequently synthesized in dirty<br />

apparatus in ‘cl<strong>and</strong>estine cl<strong>and</strong>estine’ laboratories, it may not be possible<br />

to determine which salt form of the drug is present. The<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ard is generally supplied as the sulfate form, of the<br />

general formula (amphetamine sulfate). This means that for<br />

every gram of amphetamine sulfate, 73% will be present as the<br />

amphetamine free base. The calibration curve should be<br />

plotted as (UV detector) response against concentration of<br />

amphetamine free base<br />
