EZ Test for Cocaine Potency

Questions?

• What is EZ Test Kit for Cocaine for?

  EZ Test for Cocaine Potency contains a colorimetric reagent to estimate the concentration in a sample in which the presence of cocaine has been identified. Before using a reagent potency test it is essential to rule out cuts to reduce the risk of a false positive result.

• What is included in EZ Test for Cocaine Potency?

  EZ Test for Cocaine Potency includes a reagent test and instructions. Each ampoule contains enough reagent for at least 1 test. Oxygen-free hermetically sealed glass ampoule protects reagent from light, plastic and moisture to ensure prolonged shelf life.

• How to use EZ Test for Cocaine Potency?

  GET ALL TOOLS

  Get your sample and reagent ampoule.

  PREPARE SMALL SAMPLE

  Check the sample size in the instructions provided. If testing a tablet, powder, or crystal, crush to a fine dust. If testing a liquid, dry a drop on paper or a clean ceramic surface. A larger sample may cause a stronger reaction. A new sample is needed for each test.

  ADD PREPARED SAMPLE TO REAGENT

  Break open glass ampoule by gently pushing bottom of plastic cap outwards with your thumb pointing down. Do not crush the glass ampoule, after a few soft pushes and 10-20 seconds of trying the ampoule head will snap off without any effort. Add prepared small sample inside opened glass ampoule. Cover with included plastic cap and shake for 2-3 seconds.

  OBSERVE

  Disregard any color change after time specified in the included instructions. Do not overinterpret your results, consider that color change reaction is always fastest and most vivid in the part where biggest surface of reagenttouches sample, compared to its edges. Over time reaction will degrade due to air contact. Take photos.

  COMPARE RESULTS

  Compare color change with instructions. A potency reagent can estimate QUANTITY, but not PRESENCE. Identification reagents can indicate PRESENCE, but not QUANTITY. To detect all ingredients and estimate their amount pair reagents with a TLC purity test kit.

  Close used items and dispose safely.

• How to interpret results of EZ Test for Cocaine Potency?

  

• How to handle cocaine reagent test?

  Drug testing kits contain toxic and/or corrosive chemicals, strong enough to burn skin and clothing. Keep out of eyes and mouth. Keep away from children. Always use in a well-ventilated area. Wear gloves and 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 reagents standing up and away from heat in a cool, dark place.

  Reagents deteriorate with time or due to contact with air, especially if exposed to sunlight or not refrigerated. If you are uncertain whether the reagent will work, test it with an already confirmed sample.

• How to test cocaine for fentanyl?

  Use fentanyl test strips (a fentanyl test kit)

  

  METHOD 1   

  If testing a benzo/opioid pill, crush one in a plastic baggie and dump out the powder.  Then add 10 drops of water into the baggie and mix well. Dip the test strip no higher than the thick line. Wait 15 seconds. Put the strip away and check in 5 minutes.

  METHOD 2

  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.

• What types of tests are available?

  

• What is each reagent for identification for?

  EZ Test for Cocaine Potency includes a reagent test for cocaine. It is used to presumptively estimate potency, however it doesn’t identify any substance on its own.

  To compare reagents, check the table below. A ➕ sign indicates confirmation of the expected substance; at least two are recommended. A ➖ sign indicates exclusion of specific admixtures. A blank field indicates no use.

  

  • 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
    
    

  Reagents Mandelin and Scott have been discontinued and replaced by superior Morris reagent. 

  • Fentanyl Test Strip to detect fentanyl, even mixed in another substance.
  • Nitazene Test Strip to detect nitazenes, even mixed in another substance.
  • Xylazine Test Strip to detect xylazine, even mixed in another substance.
    
    

  Reagents for identification can indicate PRESENCE, but not QUANTITY. Mixtures can only be detected with reagents if the additive causes a darker color reaction than the expected substance. Test strips can detect PRESENCE in any sample. To detect all components and estimate their quantity, combine the test strips and identification reagents with a TLC purity test.
