I recently ran an EZTEST for cocaine purity on a substance, and instead of turning the entire vial the same color, the vial separated, dark red on the bottom, clear on the top. I shook it and it separated again. I am very worried this substance may not even be cocaine....what would cause this strange behavior of the test kit?
 
yes, there is a clear division between the transparent liquid and the colored liquid. Could this be MDPV or mephedrone or some other fake cocaine?
 
Yes it could be. Personally I would not use a substance further if I tested it and it didn't test correctly.
 
it could be. it could also be one of the cuts reacting with the reagent. it could also be a problem with your reagent, too old or a bad lot or pretty much anything. if your not comfortable taking it than dont, if you are ok with the risks than go for it. I've personally never tested a substance in my life and if what I'm sold isn't cocaine (never happens when i have solid connects, only happened once or twice during street buys) it's instantly apparent when I smell the substance. since that tester wont tell you what the cut is once you've established that it is infact cocaine you're just as blind as if you tested it and it tested positive.
 
Wiki said:
The cobalt thiocyanate test is performed by placing approximately 2 to 4 milligrams of a target substance in a glass test tube, then 5 drops of cobalt thiocyanate reagent. After shaking, 1 or 2 drops of concentrated hydrochloric acid (other acids can be used[2]) are added, and the tube is again shaken. Ten drops of chloroform (or similar solvent)) are then added, and the tube is vortexed, then allowed to settle and separate into two layers. The final color of the chloroform (organic) layer is recorded.

Addition of the cobalt thiocyanate reagent to cocaine hydrochloride results in the surface of the particles turning a bright blue (faint blue for cocaine base). The solution changes back to pink upon adding one or two drops of hydrochloric acid and mixing. Addition of 10 drops of chloroform, vortexing, and allowing the solution to settle results in a blue organic layer for both cocaine hydrochloride and cocaine base.

Diphenhydramine and lidocaine also give blue organic layers. These compounds are known false positives for cocaine.

If the procedure is adjusted to basify the sample rather than acidifying it, the test can be used to test for ketamine hydrochloride

this sounds like you don't have cocaine.
 
a buddy of mine is picking up scott and marquis tests...we re going to get to the bottom of this once and for all.
 
Whether it is or isn't, we can't help you, as we don't allow any type of substance ID threads here.

But obviously if you're worried the product you have isn't what you think it is... the prudent thing would be not to ingest it.
