      All of the hardest methods we make are the ones where we have to separate out a drug from all of its impurities, there can be loads! I think the hardest ones we’ve done have been where there’s been more than one drug in a tablet (like paracetamol and codeine in the same pill) so you’ve got twice as many things to separate out. Sometimes we have to look for things using strange methods, and then we have to learn how to use the kit before we can work out a method for it – that’s hard too!
