GET ALL TOOLS
First, prepare a clean white testing surface – ceramic or glass is the best, e.g. bottom of a mug or a plate. Get your sample, reagents, a sharp tool / scoop and paper towels.
PREPARE SAMPLE, ABOUT THIS BIG -> ●
If testing a pill, powder or crystal, crush it finely. If testing a blotter or gel tab cut off 1/8th (a corner). If testing a liquid, dry one drop on paper or clean ceramic surface. A bigger sample can cause a stronger reaction. You need a new sample for each test.
ADD ONE* DROP (OR PILE) OF REAGENT
Shake bottles hard before use, then tap firmly to shake down any reagent stuck in cap. Do not let a bottle touch sample or you will ruin the rest of the reagent. Use just enough reagent to cover a sample. If using crystals avoid air pockets by flattening crystals onto sample using a clean tool. *Do not combine reagents except for „A” and „B” bottles.
OBSERVE FOR UP TO 2 MINUTES*
Disregard any color change after 2 minutes. Do not overinterpret your results, consider that color change reaction is always fastest and most vivid in the part where biggest surface of reagent touches sample, compared to its edges. Over time reaction will degrade due to air contact. Take photos. *If testing a blotter or gel tab using Ehrlich or Hofmann observe reaction for up to 60 minutes.
COMPARE RESULTS
Compare color change with instructions. Reagents can indicate PRESENCE, but not PURITY or 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.
Clean used reagent tools / testing surface with lots of running water and detergent, avoid contamination.

I really like this kit and the porcelain plate that it comes with, and you can’t beat the price! I am taking off one star for two reasons, but they’re not that big of a issue. 1) the container that the reagents come in is a bit too small, so it takes a lot of effort to fit both the reagents and the vermiculite inside. 2) Some of the results references on the included booklet and online are incorrect, and some of the results online actually contradict one another. But overall I’m very satisfied and will absolutely purchase from Protestkit in the future when this kit expires. Thank you!

Thank you for your feedback! As for the container, there is no need to keep vermiculite, it’s purpose is to secure reagents in transit. As for the results that you found incorrect, we have reached out to you by email to discuss that in more details. We are always improving and updating our materials with each print, many factors can influence color change reactions and it’s an ongoing task to take all use cases into account.

Excellent test kit containing reagent tests for testing the largest spectrum of potential substances among all reagent testing kit suppliers that i know of.
If your reagent is not in this kit, you should ask yourself if it even exists.
Very good usage documentation, both offline as paper printed manual as well as digital videos available both on PROTESTKIT and youtube.
To accelerate identification of substances by color changes, please use the provided RESULTS menu on PROTESTKIT, which comes in very handy.
Overall an excellent test kit, ripe with opportunities for you to identify all kinds of substances.
Full marks from me, 5 out of 5 stars.
Side note: please wash your scoops very well.
If you don’t and you pull a scoop out of a reagent bottle and it’s already reacted showing color, then you’ve likely contaminated your entire reagent (bottle).
Use a toothpick or a shortened plastic straw and throw it into the sink after immediately after the first use, then dilute your scoops with plenty of water dispose of them into a garbage bin.

Works as intended, tried it on canabis and LSD when i got the kit. Results were positive and obvious to see. the substance scale that is included in the kit makes it realy easy to use, substances can be tested with diferent reagents to pin point what drug you do have (if first tests dont confirm the real deal). There is a thing though, which i missed at first and wasted a blotter to get it right the second time. If you are testing solid substance with solid reagent, adding water (even if just a drop) might dilute the colors you are looking for. I found it best if i just crushed the blotter and reagents together, then the color came even better as excpected 🙂 The canabis test worked perfect the first time. And big thanks to PRO TEST employees for working together to make world a bit safer place than it was yesterday in times when drugs are starting to make a comeback in society.

The test kit succesfuly helped me identify all four suspected substances I tested, with textbook results. The packaging is discrete and the contents of high quality. Would recommend without giving it a second thought

[REWARDED REVIEW] Rly good kit to test your staff. This made my suspicions clear about powders – its not what they say it is. And once we know it, and we have proof, we can advertise it an hopefully incrase powders quality on street.

The kit works as intended, it’s somewhat sad to see the change from liquid to solid reagents as its much more difficult to handle and apply, however that’s not the providers fault and they have to conform to EU regulations. However, it would be nice if organizations had the option to purchase the liquid versions for their own use. In any case, with this kit you can probably identify most things except the most exotic research chemicals. Protestkit is still our go to supplier for drug-checking reagents.

Thank you for your kind words, we are happy the kit works as intended. As for your concenrns, in our experience crystal reagents are much easier to apply than liquid corrosives, don’t spill or discolor and last way longer, please reach out to us by contact form or email to troubleshoot any difficulties. As for liquid version for organizations / companies, we can provide that upon request via contact form / email.
