Compressed Cut or scrape the block to provide small flakes for testing. Blocks Liquid, Oils Absorb some on an uncolored, unscented tissue and allow to dry. Use a sample of dried tissue for testing. A single drop of suspected hash oil is sufficient. Plant 4-6 flakes of fresh plant material is sufficient. Tablets Crush tablet to a fine powder between a fold of paper and remove sufficient material for the test using a sampling device or flat toothpick. All color indicators, whether described or printed, are relative. Test responses will be affected by the purity and/or size of the sample, lighting conditions, temperature and how well the sample has been mixed with the reagent. Only if the full testing sequence is followed, and common sense applied to reading color responses, will the test results be conclusive.

Mix well. 5. Observe any color formed. 6. Break the right ampoule and mix well. 7. Observe color. PROCEDURE for 3 ampoule tests (4, 7, 8, 23): 1. Remove clip. 2. Place sample in pouch. 3. Replace clip carefully. 4. Break left (print facing you) ampoule. Mix well. Observe any color formed. 5. Break the center ampoule and mix well. Observe any color formed. 6. Break right ampoule, agitate for 2 to 3 seconds and hold the pouch steady. 7. Observe color. Test #901 - Mayer's Reagent - A general test for narcotic compounds and the suggested starting point for sequential testing The formation of a white to cream-colored gelatinous precipitate is indicative of the presence of a general narcotic compound (or the amphetamines). Proceed to Test #902 (Marquis Reagent) to test for opiates. If no precipitate is formed, proceed to Test #905 (Dille-Koppanyi Reagent) to test for barbiturates. CONTENTS: Tri-iodo mercurate solution in water. ANTIDOTE: Immediate dilution with water followed by induced vomiting using 2 tablespoons of syrup of ipecac. Seek medical advice. Test #902 - Marquis Reagent - A general test for Opiates and Amphetamine type compounds Violet to reddish-purple is indicative of opiates. Proceed to Test #924 (Mecke's Reagent) to confirm the presence of heroin, or Test #903 (Nitric Acid) to differentiate between heroin and morphine. An orange to red to brown sequence within 12 seconds may indicate the presence of an amphetamine. Brown may indicate Demerol, while red may indicate the presence of mescaline; Black may indicate MDMA (Ecstasy). CONTENTS: Concentrated sulfuric acid with formaldehyde. ANTIDOTE: Immediate dilution with water is recommended. Do Not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice. Test #9048 - Cocaine Salts and Base - A test for Cocaine HCI, Free-Base and ?Crack? Observe the color formation after breaking the left ampoule. Cocaine HCI and cocaine base will produce an immediate blue precipitate or blue flakes in a pink field. After breaking the middle ampoule, the blue converts to pink. After breaking the right ampoule, agitate briefly and hold the pouch steady. The solution should be pink over blue if Cocaine HCI or Cocaine base is present. CONTENTS: Cobalt thiocyanate, chloroform, and HCI. ANTIDOTE: Immediate dilution with water is recommended. Do Not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice. Test #905 - DiIIe-Koppanyi Reagent - A test for Barbiturates A purple or reddish-violet color indicates the presence of a barbiturate. A pale, blue color is a negative response. CONTENTS: Cobalt acetate in isopropanol and isopropanol-amine. ANTIDOTE: Immediate dilution with water followed by induced vomiting using 2 tablespoons of syrup of ipecac. Seek medical advice. Test #907 - Modified Ehrlich 's Reagent - A test for Hallucinogens Since the active ingredient in hallucinogens may be present in very small quantities, a larger sample may be necessary to produce a color response that can be compared easily. A slowly-developing (30-60 seconds) purple color is indicative of the presence of LSD or other ergot alkaloids. Break the third ampoule and gently agitate. The color will intensify in the presence of LSD. CONTENTS: Concentrated hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, and p-dimethylamino benzaldehyde. ANTIDOTE: Immediate dilution with water is recommended. Do Not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice. Test #908 - Duquenois-Levine Reagent - A test for Marijuana, Hashish, Hash Oil, THC and residues of THC in smoking paraphernalia Break left ampoule and agitate one minute (typically no color forms). Break the middle ampoule, agitate, and allow blue-violet color to develop (Do Not allow color to get too rich). Break right ampoule and agitate 5 seconds only. Hold the pouch steady and allow colors to separate. A slate-grey upper level over a purple lower level is a positive result for marijuana, hashish, hash oil, and THC. Plant material failing to give a positive response to Duquenois-Levine or KN Reagent (Test #909) should be examined by a forensic laboratory, as many drugs other than Marijuana can be sprayed on plant material (PCP on parsley for example). CONTENTS: Vanillin solution in alcohol, concentrated hydrochloric acid and chloroform. ANTIDOTE: Immediate dilution with water is recommended. Do Not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice. Test #909 - KN Reagent (Fast Blue Salt) - A test for Marijuana, Hashish, Hash Oil, THC and THC residues Mix vigorously for at least 30 seconds. Allow reagents to separate (layer). Observe the color in the bottom layer. An orange-red to a very dark reddish brown is indicative of the presence of marijuana, hashish, THC and other cannabis products. Strong samples will produce a very dark red color. Any other color in the bottom layer is a negative response. CONTENTS: Fast Blue Salt in a chlorinated hydrocarbon and an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. ANTIDOTE: Immediate dilution with water is recommended. Do Not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice. Test #923 - Sodium Nitroprusside - A test for Methamphetamine and MDMA (Ecstacy) Place a very small amount of suspect material into the pouch. An immediate dark blue color indicates the presence of methamphetamine. Note: A similar reaction occurs with MDMA (Ecstacy). Distinguish using Test #902 (Marquis Reagent). MDMA will form a purple/black color, while Methamphetamine is a rapid orange to red to brown within 12 seconds. A negative result is pink, slowly turning to a reddish-brown color. Protect from direct exposure to sunlight. Temperatures over 130? may destroy the active ingredient. CONTENTS: Water, Sodium nitroprusside, Sodium carbonate. ANTIDOTE: If swallowed, induce vomiting. Seek medical advice. Test #924 - Mecke's (Modified) Reagent - A test for Heroin After breaking the left ampoule, agitate well for 30 seconds. Various colors may be generated at this point. A slowly developing purple (4-5 seconds) in the first ampoule may indicate MDMA going to a deep brown in the second ampoule. After breaking the right ampoule, agitate for 5 seconds. The solution will turn green in the presence of heroin. Add Acid Neutralizer (Test #910) prior to disposal. CONTENTS: Corrosive Acid (sulfuric acid in both ampoules). Keep out of the reach of children. Do not store after breaking ampoules. ANTIDOTE: Immediate dilution with water. Do Not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice.
