To test an unknown substance always use more than 1 test, because there are more substances than colors. Tests presumptively indicate PRESENCE, but not PURITY or QUANTITY. A positive or negative test result does not mean, that the substance is safe. No substance is 100% safe.
Instructions:
- Crush onto a clean surface (e.g. bottom of a mug) a sample no bigger than a match head
PILL – finely crush a small piece, about 1/20th
BLOTTER – cut no more than 1/10th, the smallest easily visible piece
LIQUID – Pour a drop on unbleached paper or ceramics and dry before testing
PLANT – is good only for testing with fentanyls test strips (or in a laboratory) - In good light pour 1 drop of a test onto your sample
SUBSTANCE COLOR might slightly distort results
A SAMPLE SIZE might react differently than smaller - Compare the first 10-60 seconds of a reaction with flyers
FLYERS are available at https://shop.sin.org.pl/instructions/?lang=en
APPS available at TestDrugs.info for web browsers and Android devices can help interpret results
RECOMMENDED – record reaction to compare later
Pour baking soda over a finished reaction (to use the Neutralizer bottle first squeeze it and shake for 20 seconds) to neutralize used reagents. Your pipes (and environment) will thank you!
TESTING AN UNKNOWN SUBSTANCE…
- Start with the most selective tests (Simon’s, Robadope, Ehrlich, Hofmann)
- Remember to use the most universal reagents (at least Marquis, Mecke)
- It’s best to use as many different reagents as possible – we recommend the Full Test Kit
- If you have the slightest doubt, test for fentanyls presence using Fentanyls SIN Test Kit
TESTING A PSYCHEDELIC…
- Start with Ehrlich and Hofmann which differentiate indoles (e.g. tryptamines, lysergamides, including DMT, LSD) from more dangerous synthetic psychedelics like DOx, NBOMe, NBOH or 2C-x
- Pay attention that other reagents will charcoal blotter paper and LSD will not react (EROWID)
- IN CASE OF NO REACTION try more corrosive reagents (at least Marquis, Mecke)
- It’s best to use as many different reagents as possible – we recommend the LSD Test Kit
- If you have the slightest doubt, test for fentanyls presence using Fentanyls SIN Test Kit
TESTING A STIMULANT…
- Start with the most selective tests (Simon’s, Robadope, Ehrlich, Hofmann)
- Remember to use the most universal reagents (at least Marquis, Mecke)
- It’s best to use as many different reagents as possible – we recommend:
- MDMA Test Kit / Amphetamines Test Kit
- Mephedrone SIN Test
- Full Test Kit
- If you have the slightest doubt, test for fentanyls presence using Fentanyls SIN Test Kit
TESTING A DEPRESSANT…
- Start with the most universal reagent tests (at least Marquis, Mecke)
- You might also need Froehde reagent – we recommend the Heroin & Opioids Test Kit
- Mephedrone SIN Test
- It’s best to try as many different reagents as possible – we recommend the Full Test Kit
- If you have the slightest doubt, test for fentanyls presence using Fentanyls SIN Test Kit
TESTING A PLANT…
- Don’t even try reagent tests, they won’t work without TLC analysis
- If you have the slightest doubt, test for fentanyls presence using Fentanyls SIN Test Kit
A test did (not) react as indicated? Watch out!
If you want to detect an admixture of PMA/PMMA, Meth/Amphetamine, Nor/Mephedrone or other I/II amine use Robadope and Simon’s (included in the AMHETAMINES Test Kit or MDMA Test Kit). To detect all adulterants try a TLC Kit or laboratory analysis. If you have the slightest doubt, test fentanyls presence using Fentanyls SIN Test
