This kit is used for the identification of common prescription medications who are often diverted for recreational purposes, such as
- oxycodone (OxyContin, Percocet, etc)
- methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, Biphentin)
- methaqualone (Mandrax, Quaalude)
- pethidine (Demerol)
Very simple to use, this test is based on a wet chemical reaction. Simply introduce a small amount of the substance to be identified into the test. The reagent in the ampoule will change color. Then compare the color obtained with the colorimetric chart in the instructions for use.
While colour metric testing is the best method for on-the-spot screening, it is never 100% conclusive. There are many variables that can impact the result, such as user error, contaminants, and fillers. The results of a colour metric kit should be confirmed by a professional where possible using a referenced analytical method such as HPLC and GCMS.
Neither a positive result, nor a negative result means a drug is safe to use.
