International Reagent Test Kit Vendors:
Please note that we receive no financial kickback from any of these affiliates (or any project on this list).
PRO Test - EU -> WW
PRO Test is a pioneer in the reagent testing space. They are extremely well-known and reputable, and their app contains test results for over 800 substances. They do not ship to Russia or Belarus due to the current conflict. They direct UK customers to their British partner organization Reagent Tests UK, and will only ship kits to the UK that RT UK does not offer.
PRO Test offers single-use and multi use reagent test kits and TLC test kits. They uniquely offer a cannabis test kit. They also sell the Zimmerman reagent for benzodiazepenes, which very few other vendors carry. They notably do not sell the Mandelin test kit. As of January 2024, they also sell Marquis, Mecke, Liebermann, Froehde, Morris, Robadope, Simon's, Ehrlich, and Hoffman reagents.
Their Separation Packages (TLC tests) use UV light in order to detect multiple substances within a sample, solving one of the biggest limitations of at-home drug checking (reagent kits not being able to accurately detect multiple substances within a sample in some cases) TLC tests are also able to detect the purity and % makeup of a substance.
We are excited to announce our recent partnership with PRO Test.
For every full reagent test kit (or 10 single reagents) that people buy using the BLUELIGHT code, PRO Test will give us a free kit to give away to members!
So when you buy kits from PRO Test, you aren't just ensuring that you use safely. You're also ensuring that members who cannot afford test kits will also be able to test their drugs and stay safe.
Make sure to use code BLUELIGHT for 10% OFF, AND to help us give away FREE test kits!
