If no obvious key, either stand alone or compound is available, then the last resort is to simply create a key, by assigning a unique number to each record or occurrence. Then this is known as developing an artificial key.

Compound Key:

If no single data element uniquely identifies occurrences within a construct, then combining multiple elements to create a unique identifier for the construct is known as creating a compound key.

Natural Key:

When one of the data elements stored within a construct is utilized as the primary key, then it is called the natural key.

Word combinations follow a natural progression over time. Whether nouns, verbs, or modifiers, or any mix of these elements, the combination typically goes from two terms (bed bug) to a hyphenated term (bed-bug) to one term (bedbug) as it becomes embedded in our language.

The easiest way to decide if a compound term takes a hyphen is to look it up in the latest edition of a good dictionary. Stick with that dictionary because dictionary spellings vary, and you want to be consistent.

A term that appears in your dictionary as one word (i.e., written solid) or as hyphenated has become a permanent compound. Remember that the dictionary spelling also depends on the property of the term: noun (workout) or verb (work out), adjective (call-in) or verb (call in), etcetera.

While screening tests are very accurate and reliable tests, they are not 100% accurate. Samples which screen positive are presumed to be actually positive, but the specific drug must be confirmed by a more specific method. The method employed by the Toxicology Section for all confirmations is gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).

In confirmatory tests, a procedure specific to the class or family of drug for which the sample screened positive is employed to "wash" or separate the drug itself from the matrix, i.e. blood or urine, in which it resides. The procedure of separating the drug from the sample is called an extraction. The Toxicology Section has different procedures for each class of drug. The general scheme of an extraction is to adjust the pH of the sample, expose the sample to an organic solvent to wash out the drug, collect and concentrate the organic solvent, and derivatize the drug in the sample. Some extractions have a but a few steps in the scheme, while others have many steps. The extraction process is one of the most time-consuming aspects of drug testing.
