PRO Test Kit for Cannabinoid Potency

Questions?

• What is PRO Test Kit for Cannabinoid Potency for?

  PRO Test Kit for Cannabinoid Potency is used to discover number and amount (%) of ingredients in a sample, including ruling out synthetic cannabinoids and other, less predictable, less desirable, highly toxic dangerous drugs. It can detect adulterants and potency of CBD, THC as well as approximately check other compounds too, including CBC, CBG, CBN and THCV. It does not identify detected substances without pairing with a reagent test kit for identification.

• What is included in PRO Test Kit for Cannabinoid Potency?

  PRO Test Kit for Cannabinoid Potency includes instructions, gloves, 6 vials, 5 testing “cards”, jar, pipette, testing liquids (40 ml), 20 glass tubes, UV-C flashlight (4 AA batteries required, not included) and % ruler. Each 1 “card”, 4 glass tubes and 2 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 cannabinoid potency test kit includes 1 Cannabinoid Testing Liquid.

  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.
  

• How to use PRO Test Kit for Cannabinoid Potency?

  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 SAMPLE 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.

  Note: read carefully product description to make sure if the kit is suitable for precise % amount estimation of the substance you are interested in. If not, then aside from detecting cuts the kit will only approximately help you compare amounts of the same substance in different samples.

• How to handle TLC test kits?

  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?

  Check what testing liquid is best for testing which substances:

  • Cannabinoid Testing Liquid – for all cannabinoid products (especially CBD and/or THC)
  • Cocaine Testing Liquid – for cocaine
  • LSD Testing Liquid – for LSD, iso-LSD and other lysergamides
  • Mushroom Extraction Liquid – for psylocybin mushrooms or solutions containing psylocybin and/or psilocin
  • Primary Testing Liquid – for other alkaloids and synthetic compounds

   

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

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

• What is each colorimetric reagent test for?

  PRO Test Kit for Cannabinoid Potency is best paired with PRO Test Kit for Cannabinoids and Cuts Identification, recommended for CBD, THC, synthetic cannabinoids and more.

  To compare reagents, check the table below:

  

  • 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 (unless specifically described otherwise). Adulterants can be detected with reagents only if they cause a darker color change than the expected substance. To detect all ingredients and estimate amounts pair reagents with a TLC purity test kit.
