Discovered: The 61-year-old, dubbed 'the Professor', planned to make the stimulant drug in a secret laboratory in Grantham, Lincolnshire. Above, test batches of almost pure amphetamine are pictured in packets and tins

Concealed: He hoped to produce a staggering 88lbs of almost pure amphetamine every 48 hours - before selling it to drug dealers across the country. Above, the stimulant drug is concealed in the back of a car

But the gang was caught after the National Crime Agency (NCA) put them under surveillance following a tip-off in August 2012.

Today, Dave Archer, of the NCA, described the plot as 'a real-life version of Breaking Bad'. This chemistry lecturer was going to use all of his skills to produce amphetamine on an industrial scale,' he said. 'We were able to shut down their operation and deny them access to huge profits.'

Storage: Jakubczyk and his associates used these metal containers to store test batches of the powerful drug

Since when is 80% purity ever considered 'almost pure'?

100% pure methamphetamine isn't possible to create. Same with cocaine, even if it's straight off the brick it isn't going to be 100% pure because of the manufacturing process. 80% is still very high.

Have you got anything to back that statement up? I've no expert understanding of chemistry, but I see no reason why it should be possible to purify methamphetamine to near 100% like any other substance? I would imagine the low average purity is due to most meth cooks having no understanding of moles.

From my limited understanding, you have to process it over and over to create a higher purity. Like alcohol, if you want a higher proof you distill it over and over. If someone could provide proof that would be awesome.

Two things I could think of off the top of my head that stop close to 100% purity:

1) Most salts (lots of drugs are apparently supplied in salt form) attract some water from the atmosphere. Same goes for things like alcohol. Ethanol for example can't exist in the open at a percentage greater than 96%, because it absorbs water when exposed to air.

2) The purer the substance gets, the more of the subtance a chemist will lose with each "clean". To purify a substance you often mix it with some kind of solvent that dissolves the impurities, but not your desired chemical. You then do this wash repeatedly to keep increasing the purity of what you have... Sometimes using different solvents to get rid of different impurities. Many solvents attract water from the atmosphere, and lots of drugs dissolve in water. This will result in a % of product being lost during each clean.

Big labs with decent equipment will have dehumidifiers, access to anhydrous solvents and all kinds of other stuff that can stop you from losing your target chemical during those final stages, but clandestine chemists will not.

To put it into perspective, if you fuck up the cleaning at the end, you can easily lose most of your product and you will always lose SOME product doing it. It's just not worth it for a clandestine chemist that's selling his product to someone that's buying it on weight, rather than purity in the first place. I'm going to guess that most drug dealers, even big buyers, don't have access to gas chromatography to test the purity of what they're buying. They'll do some basic chemical tests / try it themselves, and that'll be enough.

Users of the drug won't care either, they'll just take more. Doses are often so small with these kinds of things, and users don't weigh out what they take for the most part. "That looks about right" means that a 10 point difference in purity goes unnoticed.

I completed my grad degree in synthetic organic chemistry and methodology development at MIT and have seven years experience working at various high profile startups. I have a good deal of experience working with phenyl propyl amines...

Do not assume everyone knows as little about an area as yourself.
