Hello everyone,
I currently own a marquis regent test that i most often use for basic testing of ketamine/mdma/opiates but i was wondering if there was a better more accurate and specific test i could be useing. I also want to be able to test for lsd...what is the best test out there?!
 
I think I saw that EZ test has kits for specific drugs - a lot of that will be pretty classic reagents like sekio mentions but for something like ketamine a special test could be juicy (may be thats a bad example idk).
Special test for special K, seems legit?

If you are really only thinking about LSD then you already got your answer I guess.

I'd be interested in more insight about what reagents might be in those specialized tests.
 
The common reagent tests are thus

for general alkaloid identification:

Marquis - 100 mL of concentrated (95–98%) sulfuric acid to 5 mL of 40% formaldehyde
Mecke - 100 mL of concentrated (95–98%) sulfuric acid to 1 g of selenious acid
Mandelin - 100 mL of concentrated (95–98%) sulfuric acid to 1 g of ammonium vanadate

other general purpose reagents

Froehde - 100 mL of hot, concentrated (95–98%) sulfuric acid to 0.5 g of e.g. sodium molybdate
Liebermann - 100 mL of concentrated sulfuric to 10 g of potassium nitrite
Duquenois–Levine - 100 mL ethanol, 2 g vanillin, 2.5 mL acetaldehyde (+ hydrochloric acid and chloroform)
Zwikker - Part A is 0.5 g of copper (II) sulfate in 100 ml of distilled water. Part B consists of 5% pyridine (v/v) in chloroform.
Ehrlich and Modified Ehrlich - "improved hallucinogen reagent" uses 5 g DMAB in 100 mls concentrated phosphoric acid (specific gravity 1.75) and 100 mls of methanol.

differentiating primary/secondary amines:

Simons - sodium nitroprusside, sodium carbonate and acetaldehyde
Robadope - sodium nitroprusside, sodium carbonate and acetone

If you add TLC some combination of these stains is enough to identify most classes of alkaloids.

Would the secondary amine reagent be useful for N-substituted PEA identification?
 
i know bunk police makes LSD test kit now, i have yet to use it but i've used they're mdma/ket/MXE successfully. theres no sourcing but if you google bunk police you shouldnt have too much trouble. best of luck.
