reagent testing results see list of reagent testing color charts reagent testing is one of the processes used to identify substances contained within a pill usually illicit substances with the increased prevalence of drugs being available in their pure forms the terms drug checking or pill testing 1 may also be used although these terms usually refer to testing with a wider variety of techniques covered by drug checking this short gif provides clear and easy to follow instructions on how to use a drug checking kit reagent testing notes edit ehrlich s reagent can be used to test for the presence of lsd upon reaction the ehrlich s reagent turns to purple indicating the presence of lsd 2 a test is done by taking a small scraping from a pill and placing it in the reagent testing liquid or dropping the reagent onto the scraping 3 the liquid will change colour when reacting with different chemicals to indicate the presence of certain substances testing with a reagent kit does not indicate the pill is safe while the testing process does show some particular substances are present it may not show a harmful substance that is also present and unaccounted for by the testing process some substances that cause strong colour changes can also mask the presence of other substances that cause weaker colour changes thin layer chromatography is used with reagent testing to separate substances before testing and prevent this masking effect 4 ehrlich reagent can only detect drugs with an indole moiety but this is useful because drugs from the nbome class do not have an indole and are often sold as lsd which does the ehrlich reagent has an additional benefit over other reagents in that it does not react with the paper on which lsd is often distributed reagent tests are often limited to target specific chemicals and when these substances are mis sold it is usually by substitution of a different substance in the same chemical family rendering the test unuseful for consumers however reagent tests for chemicals families also exist lacing agents are often used to cut the weight of substances some of the most available and non suspicious cutting agents are reducing sugars the common dietary monosaccharides galactose glucose and fructose are all reducing sugars sugar is the generic name for sucrose a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose availability edit as reagent testing has become more popular vendors have begun to offer a greater range of tests this increases the likelihood that a substance might have a unique profile of results making the tests more useful other reagents are discussed in scientific literature but limited applications mean they may not be sold for consumer testing the national institute of justice provides information about color test reagents kits for preliminary identification of drugs of abuse in nij standard 0604 01 5 several products are in early phases of development that are intended to allow their users to covertly detect without using droppers etc date rape drugs for instance reusable straws with components that change color in the presence of ghb rohypnol or ketamine see date rape drug detection reliability edit results will vary depending on sample adulteration quantity temperature lighting exposure to air storage as well as reagent quality and degradation colorimetric techniques have been developed 6 if more than one bottle are open at the same time and the cap are put on the wrong reagent bottle this may cross contaminate the reagents and ruin them according to a 2003 research published in pharmacotherapy neither the marquis mecke nor simon s reagents should be used by the public for harm reduction purposes these agents do not help identify pure mdma tablets the research team suggests using gas chromatography mass spectrometry as the most sensitive and specific testing method for identifying mdma and its contaminants 7 but this is out of reach for users in most countries and reagent tests remain popular often distributed by harm reduction organisations due to their low cost and high utility when multiple test reagents are used 8 9 10 legality edit usa edit illinois edit home pill testing equipment is illegal in the us state of illinois where the 720 ilcs 600 drug paraphernalia control act specifically outlaws testing equipment intended to be used unlawfully in a private home for identifying or in analyzing the strength effectiveness or purity of cannabis or controlled substances 11 tennessee edit rapid fentanyl test strips are decriminalized in tennessee representative william lamberth r portland introduced hb2177 in the tennessee general assembly on january 31 2022 followed by the introduction of sb2427 by senator jack johnson r franklin the following day the bill was eventually passed by governor bill lee on march 31 fentanyl test strips were previously considered drug paraphernalia by tennessee code annotated 39 17 402 which defines terms such as controlled substance and drug paraphernalia in tennessee state law per tca 39 17 425 possession of fentanyl test strips was previously a class a misdemeanor punishable by up to 11 months 29 days in jail and fines of up to 2 500 distributing them was previously a class e felony punishable by prison sentences of one to six years and fines of up to 3 000 12 13 14 acid base reaction edit
