Question about a Marquis reaction on a pill

The poster claims the pill to be PMA but it gave a clear(no reation) test result on the Marquis tester.
I own the E-Z test extreme which I know the Robadope test can tell if a pill has PMA in it. I answered to the best of my ablity not being 100% sure, but from what I know I thought PMA is a primary amine and would give a brown/orange reaction on the Marquis tester if it is the only active insert in the pill. Am I wrong? If so what is the correct answers. Thank you. Peace>

Simply - Yes you are wrong in thinking marquis can test for PMA.

There is no mainstream test that does test for PMA. If you add marquis to PMA there will be no colour change. This is also true for lots of chemicals, for example psuedoephedrine will also stay clear.

One way you can test to see if PMA may be present is with the following test combination.


1. Test with marquis. If there is no colour change then you know your substance is not MDxx/speed/2cb/opiate/etcetc.

2. Take a second scraping, test with robadope. If it turns that salmon colour then you have a primary amine present. There is a fair chance that it is PMA.
