How to test an unknown substance or RCs?

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 http://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
