Cannabinoids Test Kit (TLC)

Questions?

• What is Cannabinoids Test Kit for?

  Cannabinoids Test Kit includes best testing liquid and accessories for CBD and THC but also suitable for THCV, CBC, CBG, CBN and more. It is used to discover full number and amount (%) of all phytocannabinoids and to rule out synthetic cannabinoids or different, less predictable, less desirable, highly toxic dangerous drugs. Additional multi-reagent test kit is required to identify ingredients and increase analysis precision.

  TLC purity test kits can detect NUMBER and AMOUNT of substances, but not their TYPE. Pair TLC test kit with reagent test kit to indentify ingredients. Reagents alone detect mixtures only if adulterant causes a darker color change than the expected substance.

• What is included in Cannabinoids Test Kit?

  Cannabinoid Purity Test Kit includes instructions, gloves, 4 vials, 5 testing “cards”, jar, pipette, testing liquid (40 ml), 20 glass tubes, UV-C flashlight (4 AA batteries required, not included) and concentration % rulers for CBD and THC. Each 1 “card”, 4 glass tubes and 6 ml of testing liquid equal 4 tests. Testing “card” can be reused untill fully used. Glass and metal protect testing liquid from air and moisture to ensure prolonged shelf life. High-quality caps and lid guarantee 0 spills. 

  TLC test kit for cannabinoids includes 1 Cannaibnoid Testing Liquid for THC, THCV, CBD, CBC, CBG and CBN. It is best to use this test kit for plants, extracts or orther cannabis products.

• How to use Cannabinoids Test Kit?

  GET ALL TOOLS

  First, prepare a clean and well lit testing surfach. Get your sample, spatula, gloves, plastic vial, testing liquid, pipette, pencil, glass tube, wrapped esting cards, jar and UV-C flashlight. Next, carefully holding a testing “card” by only top edges mark 4 dots 1 cm apart from card’s bottom, sides and each other.

  PREPARE SAMPLE

  If testing a pill, powder or crystal, crush it finely. Weigh sample in a plastic vial and dissolve in testing liquid (or other solvent) using ratios mentioned in the booklet. Shake to dissolve. To big or too small sample can cause an inconclusive result.

  ADD 1 MICROLITER TO CARD 

  In case of sediment wait a minute for it to fall down. Under strong light submerge end of glass tube to fill it with dissolved sample. Gently touch one of the marked dots on Testing Card to discharge sample and mark the spot with pencil.

  INSERT CARD INTO JAR

  Add 2 ml of testing liquid inside jar and carefully, paying attention to not touch the white side of Testing Card with sample, insert it inside jar. Close the jar and observe for about 25 minutes, until Testing Card almost fully soaks – but not any longer. Remove Testing Card from jar, wait for it to dry.

  COMPARE RESULTS

  Use UV-C flashlight to reveal results. Spots on Testing Card revealed by UV-C light circle using pencil. Each spot indicates a separate substance.  TLC purity test kits can detect NUMBER and AMOUNT of substances, but not their TYPE. Pair TLC test kit with reagent test kit to indentify ingredients. Reagents alone detect mixtures only if adulterant causes a darker color change than the expected substance.

  To reuse Testing Card do not apply reagent tests on it.

• What % range can be determined?

  The TLC test kit can determine from as low as 0.2% up to 100%. Instructions explain how to use ratios to analyze trace, avarage and high potency samples, even beyond the scale printed on a % ruler.

• How to handle TLC tests?

  Testing liquids contain toxic and/or corrosive chemicals, strong enough to burn skin and clothing. Keep out of eyes and mouth. Keep away from children and animals. Always use in a well-ventilated area. Wear gloves (supplied) when handling the bottle and cap. Wear protective eyewear. Never point towards face etc. If you get some on you/clothing, then immediately wash with lots of soap and water. Dispose of any unwanted reagent with running water, ventilate. Store away from heat in a cool, dark place. TLC tests do not expire if stored correctly.

• What TLC testing liquids are available?

  We recommend to get spare testing liquid to save on shipping.
  Note: you can use any solvent to dissolve your sample, e.g. ethanol 

   

  Check which Testing Liquid is best for testing which substances:

  • Primary Testing Liquid for – alkaloids, phenetylamines (amphetamine, MDMA, 2C-B, etc.), indolamines (LSD, DMT, etc.), tryptamines, derivatives and opiates
    • e.g. 2C-B, DMT, LSD, heroin, DXM, MDMA, meth/amphetamine, mCPP, metoclopramide, codeine, caffeine, acetaminophen, procaine, ketamine
  • Testing Liquid for Cocaine Purity Test – ketamine, cocaine, caffeine, levamisole, lidocaine, procaine, tetracaine, benzocaine, acetaminophen
  • Testing Liquid for Cannabinoid Test – for testing all natural cannabinoids and cannabis products

• What is each colorimetric reagent test for?

  Cannabinoids Test Kit (TLC) is best paired with CBD/THC Reagent Test Kit or Cannabinoids TLC Dye.

   

  

  • Cannabis (4-AP) – main test for THC / CBD, helps rule out synthetic cannabinoids
  • Ehrlich – main test for all indoles, e.g. lysergamides and tryptamines but also 5-HTP and more, secondary test for cocaine
  • Hofmann – main test for lysergamides and tryptamines, more precise but slower than Ehrlich
  • Froehde – main test for most powders, secondary test for ketamine and amphetamines, long shelf life
  • Liebermann – main test for most powders, secondary test for cocaine (detects levamisole)
  • Marquis – main test for most powders, secondary test for ketamine, mephedrone and psychedelics
  • Mecke – main test for most powders, secondary test for cocaine, ketamine and mephedrone
  • Morris – main test for cathinones, cocaine and ketamine, can tell apart some novel dissociatives
  • Robadope – main test for primary amines, e.g. MDA, amphetamine or PMA
  • Simon – main test for secondary amines, e.g. MDMA, meth, mephedrone, methylone or PMMA
  • Zimmermann / Beam – main test for cathinones and benzodiazepines in geneal, detects also CBD

  Fentanyl Test Strip to detect fentanyl, even if it is mixed in another substance.

  Reagents can indicate PRESENCE, but not QUANTITY. Adulterants can be detected with reagents only if they cause a darker color change than the expected substance. To detect all ingredients and estimate their amount pair reagents with a TLC purity test kit.

• How to test weed for fentanyl?

  Use fentanyl test strips (a fentanyl test kit)

  

  METHOD

  Mix 100 mg of sample in 200 ml of water. Dip the test strip no higher than the thick line. Wait 15 seconds. Put the strip away and check in 5 minutes.

  COMPARE RESULTS

  1 line = fentanyl, 2 lines = no fentanyl. Faint lines also count. Ignore fentanyl tester results after 5 minutes.

  To detect all ingredients and estimate their amount pair reagents with a TLC purity test kit.
