Frequently Asked Questions
What tests do you offer?
PRO tests help identify the substance and assess its purity using a small sample, approximately this size -> We offer both qualitative and semi-quantitative test kits for the presumptive analysis of cocaine, LSD, MDMA, THC, and more than 800 other substances. QUALITATIVE TESTS (for detection). These tests are used to check for the PRESENCE of a substance, but not its concentration (STRENGTH) or PURITY. Colorimetric identification tests can only detect an additive if it reacts with a color that is more characteristic (darker) than the expected substance. To increase the accuracy of the test, it is important to always use several different reagents from the kit. When used according to the instructions, test strips can detect substances even in trace amounts. SEMI-QUANTITATIVE TESTS (strength and purity) These are tests for assessing concentration (STRENGTH) and PURITY. The difference is that purity testing detects impurities in addition to concentration. Support and purity tests should be used after identification tests have been performed. Colorimetric concentration tests change color depending on the concentration and should be used after the substance has been identified and impurities have been ruled out. TLC purity tests allow you to separate different substances in a sample and estimate their quantities. TLC tests do not identify substances independently (unless you have a previously confirmed sample for comparison) and work best in combination with colorimetric reagents.

What are the differences between identification tests?
For reagent comparisons, see the table below. A ➕ indicates confirmation of the expected substance; at least two are recommended. A ➖ indicates exclusion of specific additives. A blank field indicates non-use.
Cannabis (4-AP) – primary THC/CBD test, helps rule out synthetic cannabinoids. Ehrlich test – primary test for all indoles, e.g. lysergamides and tryptamines, as well as 5-HTP and others, secondary test for cocaine Hofmann – the main test for lysergamides and tryptamines, more accurate but slower than Ehrlich’s Froehde – primary test for most powders, secondary test for ketamine and amphetamines, long shelf life Liebermann – primary test for most powders, secondary test for cocaine (detects levamisole) Marquis – primary test for most powders, secondary test for ketamine, mephedrone and psychedelics Mecke – primary test for most powders, secondary test for cocaine, ketamine and mephedrone Morris – the main test for cathinones, cocaine and ketamine, can distinguish some novel dissociative substances Robadope – the main test for primary amines, e.g. MDA, amphetamine or PMA Simon – the main test for secondary amines, e.g. MDMA, methamphetamine, mephedrone, methylone or PMMA Zimmermann/Beam – the main test for cathinones and benzodiazepines in general, also detects CBD The Mandelin and Scott reagents have been discontinued and replaced by the improved Morris reagent. Fentanyl test strip for detecting fentanyl, even when mixed with another substance. Nitase test strip for the detection of nitases, even when mixed with another substance. Xylazine test strip for the detection of xylazine, even when mixed with another substance. Identifitseerimiseks mõeldud reagendid võivad näidata ESINEMISE, kuid mitte KOGUST. Segusid saab reagentidega tuvastada ainult siis, kui lisaaine põhjustab tumedama värvireaktsiooni kui oodatav aine. Testribad suudavad tuvastada ESINEMISE mis tahes proovis. Kõigi komponentide tuvastamiseks ja nende koguse hindamiseks kombineerige testribad ja identifitseerimisreagendid TLC puhtustestiga.
What are the expiration dates and storage requirements?
Meie toodete keskmine parim enne kuupäev on 2 aastat pärast ostmist. Mitmekordselt kasutatavaid reagentide pudeleid võib säilivusaja pikendamiseks külmutada või hoida külmkapis, kuid see pole kohustuslik. Kui otsustate reagente jahutada, siis veenduge, et need enne kasutamist sulaksid ja soojendaksid toatemperatuurini.
