AMPHETAMINE Reagent Test Kit

Instruction

NOTE: Amphetamine Test Kit can only test the PRESENCE, not PURITY or QUANTITY of a specific substance. Always test under a strong light and using the smallest possible sample. Never open more than 1 bottle at once, if you make a mistake you might contaminate the reagents and spoil them. If a few reactions are happening at once, only the darkest one of them will be visible.

BEFORE using an amphetamine reagent test kit

• It’s RECOMMENDED to record the reaction to compare later

STEP ONE for testing amphetamine powder / crystals

• Take and finely crush a small piece, no bigger than a head of a needle – like this •.
• Put it on a suitable testing plate, preferably a spot test plate or the bottom/underside of a ceramic mug (example). *If using single-use vials insert the sample and observe, as the reagent is already within.
• Add one (or two) drops of Marquis reagent test (or other supplied) on the sample and wait for the results.
• Check reagent test results with instructions.

How to use an amphetamine test kit?

• Check test results with Marquis test kit: if testing meth/amphetamine the color of the reaction should be orange.
• To tell apart amphetamine and meth use Robadope test kit, which turns pink with any primary amine like amphetamine, MDA, PMA, or 2C-x.

STEP TWO testing amphetamine for adulterants

According to EMCDDA amphetamine is usually adulterated with caffeine and creatine, however it can contain potent new psychoactive substances.

• To detect amphetamine adulterants you can use tests Simon’s (for MDMA, meth, mephedrone, methylone or PMMA) and Zimmermann (for a-PVP and 4-MMC derivatives). They react to secondary amines and secondary and tertiary cathinones, but not to amphetamine.

AFTER using a meth/amphetamine reagent test kit

• OPTIONAL: Pour baking soda over a finished reaction to neutralize used reagents.
• Wash testing surface under running water.

FAQ

• Paste. If your substance is not dry, put it on a radiator for 24 hours before testing.
• Fizzing. Any synthetic drug in a form of salt will bubble with most reagent tests, which are strong acids. If you see only fizzing instead of color change, that can indicate presence of a new psychoactive substance.
• Speed of the reaction does not indicate quantity nor purity. However, if you are having trouble interpreting your result try using a bigger sample or crushing it better before testing.
• How many tests can you get from one test kit? A multiple-use test kit lasts up to 100 (5 ml) or 200 (10 ml) tests. Each drop equals one test. A single use-test kit contains 2 disposable ampoules (2 tests).

How to check if reagent for testing amphetamine works?

• Test any substance and compare color reactions with instructions. It’s easiest to use aspirin – Marquis reagent reacts to it with a slow pink color change.
• Keep a sample to compare later in case of doubt. If control sample reacts fine, it means the reagent still works.
