Rules for identifying poisons

I cannot find any rules for identifying poisons (though I am certain they exist and are probably very clearly labeled in the Core rulebook). Could someone give me a nudge in the right direction on this topic?

Identify Alchemy is in the Skills chapter under Crafting (page 245 of the CRB).

It doesn't specifically mention poisons, but they're generally alchemical items.
Poisons are also listed as a topic for Recall Knowledge under the Medicine skill.

I go with the Identify Alchemy rules as Super Zero mentioned for working out what a vial of the stuff is. If someone is witnessing the results or autopsying a corpse I let them use medicine instead.

Ask your GM if you can use Lore. A character in my Campaign has Poison Lore for just this sort of thing.
