The Death serum is a substance used by Jeanine Matthews. When Tris Prior surrendered herself for testing, Jeanine attempted to use it, but it was actually a different, non-lethal serum dyed purple. The real serum was in Peter Hayes's hands. It is also noted that strong Divergent characters can resist the death serum when Tris resists it in Allegiant.[1]
