I have a sizeable quantity of DOC powder that I got tested. The testing service relayed what the lab had reported: they said they found both DOC and 2,5-DMA ( https://www.erowid.org/library/books_online/pihkal/pihkal054.shtml ) in the product. I think it was implied that the quantity of 2,5-DMA was "significant", because it seems to me like it is normal to find a trace of it in your DOX product but they don't always make a big deal of it.
They could not tell me the quantitative proportions, only that the major constituent was DOC.

Do you think that I got this reaction because while I submitted powder, the lab was used to testing DOX in blotters, which contains traces already and hardly enough to analyze minor constituents like this - just to mostly detect DOX present? Also, since the potency of 2,5-DMA is so low, how unwise would it be to disregard their very "HR" advice to not take it just to be sure... it seems to me like in the worst case there may be an interaction between the compounds and the DMA competitively inhibits the enzymes that also break down the DOC, or the DMA may act as a 'primer'?

I intend to do TLC on the product to see how big or intense the spots are of the two constituents and try to compare them roughly. Any suggestion for solvents to differentiate between them, if not Rf values would be amazing of course.

Am trying to think of reasons why just titrating with it would be a bad idea... I don't quite feel like attempting to complete the chlorination =D

Honestly, there is no way that you'd consume an active dose of 2,5-dma at remotely sane levels of DOM, even if the 2,5-dma constituted 50 percent of the product; I wouldn't sweat it.

ebola
 
12 doses of DOC gives you 1 dose of 2,5-DMA at a 1:1 ratio

I wouldn't sweat it, as ebola said
 
Thanks, I guess that makes sense.

What do you figure they used as analysis methods?

You need 80-160mg of 2,5-DMA just for pupil changes and heart rate increase. That's a little more than 12:1!

Like ebola said, can probably just ignore it.
 
not NMR otherwise they couldve easily told you relative amounts of each. Probably lcms which they could only quantitative or give relative amounts if they had analytical standards of those two drugs.
