easy e said:
what do you sell under the name robadope? we have used this name (my own brain product) for years a product (which we discontinued) that shows positive for primary amines. is this the simons reagent which detects secondary amines? this is confusing...
also, on your ebay you claim it can tell the difference between mda and mdma? How do you do that? please elaborate...
PLEASE BE CAREFUL REALTIMEREAGENTS AND ANY OTHER PEOPLE SELLING ROBADOPE. The name Robadope is copyright to Eztest.com however the formula is not. I would like to point out that this is likely the information that the user easy e is trying to find out since he is the the seller of Eztest.com kits and I believe holder of the Robadope copyright name. THIS LEGAL PROBLEM IS EASILY SOLVED BY RENAMING YOUR ROBADOPE REAGENT SOMETHING WITH A SIMILAR NAME SUCH AS ROBE OR ROBATEST.
When Eztest.com stopped selling Robadope and Simons along with all the other bottle kits I e-mailed them begging them in the interests of harm reduction to please continue to make and sell them as at the time there was no one selling these kits worldwide. Eztest declined saying they were only going to sell the more expensive vial kits and this meant they weren't going to sell Simons or Robadope any more. I then asked them for the formula to Robadope in the hopes that I could find someone to continue to make it but Eztest.com gave me a response saying that it was their creation and they weren't willing to release the formula at that time. After searching high and low and after consulting a forensic chemist I found out Eztest.com had been lying. Robadope formula was not copyright or even invented by Eztest.com but was listed in forensic documentation as modified Simons Reagent as stated in the quote below....

Robadope can be prepared by replacing the acetaldehyde with acetone. This is why in most literature Robadope is referred to as modified Simon's Reagent or Simon's Reagent with acetone.
So what I found was only the name ROBADOPE was copyright and an invention of easy e (Eztest.com).
To confirm this point I tested a pre-release version of Robadope made by
Ecstasy Pill Test along side the old discontinued EZ Test Bottle Robadope. Both worked exactly the same and reacted to primary amines. The important point to make is that Ecstasy Pill Test's pre-release Robadope I tested was made exactly as mentioned above which is simply using the formula for Simons but instead replacing the acetaldehyde with acetone. Obviously Ecstasy Pill Test will call Robadope something else when they release it for sale such as Robe or Robatest to avoid legal issues of the copyright Robadope name.
I am very glad that people like RealTimeReagents, Ecstasy Pill Test and DanceSafe are producing the cheap multi use bottle kits of the most useful reagents we have which is Marquis, Mandelin, Mecke, Simons and Robadope (hopefully in the future more companies will sell all 5).
The next move I can suggest is for more harm reduction/test kit companies to producing Ehrlich Reagent in a cheap multi use bottle form such as done by BunkPolice. This is to test LSD blotters (tabs) as there has been a worldwide trend to sell DOx or 2C-x-NBOMe compounds as fake LSD blotters which is a tragedy since these compounds have resulted in a number of hospitalisations and deaths.
