Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can tell me how long it will be, if ever, till Thin layer testing can be purchased by the individual. Any info on rough pricing would be most appreciated too. Johnboy is probably best at this seeing as I'm in Melb.. Thanx in advance.

Theoretically speaking(...) TLC kits can be bought from Pro-test and TheGamer.
However:
-ProTest doesn't accept creditcards anymore since august 2000.
-The Gamer doesn't send you the damn kit after you've paid for it in ca$h. He doesn't answer your questions either, although you CAN still see him posting in other parts of bluelight.
I've been busy getting my hands on a TLC kit since late august but so far no luck.
 
For the benefit of the public who haven't a clue as to what's happened here.
TLC kits are available from us, AFTER a "fine tuning" period, as we try to improve them.
Aidix and Johnboy both ordered kits long ago, and are just about to receive them in the next few days.
There were many factors that caused the delay, most importantly the difficulty in trying to receive the chemicals and supplies we had ordered.
A really good example of this is the glass bottles we send off for use as a developing tank took over 4 months to receive the order. Shorter but significant delays also affected the receipt of our other chemicals needed to complete the kit.
Its important to make it clear that we are an honest business, and that what at first glance seems to be dodgy business (on our part) is actually our suppliers taking their time to supply us.
Here's the situation now.
We're putting the sale of this product on hold until we're confident this won't happen again. This type of thing doesn't make us look good, and while we do have the supplies to make the kits, we need a new supplier before we continue.
We're also looking at ways of making the kit more accurate, easier to use, and to get rid of the need to use iodine.
In the meantime, we are distributors and resellers of the Chemical Generation kits, and have had no problem in getting our supplies, or people receiving their order.
If you're interested in a kit that can detect more than marquis reagent can, the E2 kit can detect PMA and Ketamine, and can visually differentiate between MDMA, and MDA.
So, in short - those who have paid for kits will receive them in the next few days (depending on you location).
For those who are interested in buying one, please be patient - we'll re-introduce the kit when we're confident its time, and in the meantime, check our website for information on how to get a chemical generation E/E2 kit.

I hope this clears the air, and any misunderstandings.

no, princess, just another reminder why communication is the most important part of running a business. if you don't tell us, we dont know, and for a very long time nobody was told nuffin...
 
I had no clue, when I read the post, I woke him up to find out what was going on because he never told me, I would have sent the money back and made somesort of communication. But then thats why he's the chemist and I do the business part.
 
N.E.1 got his TLC kit??
Did customs abduct it, or haven't you mailed it yet?
Getting a little erh anxious u know.
 
I can sort of understand. At least he has the guts to try to get it going. I bet he's running into a million things.....
Marketing and selling testing devices is not as easy (EZ) as it may sometimes look (especially the part when you are supposed to get the cash somewhere...) Before you know it, something you never expected happens and you got another delay. Meanwhile you gotta make money to stay alive.
Considering the fact that this business is not like selling millions, I think it is pretty normal for products in this kind of market to grow up and take some time to mature.

Hey... you'll have then within a week's time (unless of course it takes longer than that to arrive in Australia) - Aidix, you'll have yours probably on Monday.
We added a developing tank to the kit so now you have proper bottle to develop the chromatography strip in.
