Benzodiazepine (Benzo) Drug Testing Kit

The EZ Test Benzodiazepine Kit detects benzos. These are commonly prescribed, or taken for: 

• Anxiety
• Insomnia treatment
• Panic attacks
• Alcohol withdrawal 

Due to the increased availability of benzodiazepines online, via unlicensed pharmacies, and suppliers, coupled with potential over prescribing in some countries these drugs have become some of the most frequently abused substances.

This kit can help you test for mis-sold versions of benzos (this often occurs when a cheaper yet similar novel psychoactive substance is used in place of the desired drug without this information being disclosed), particularly Valium (diazepam, an anxiolytic sometimes prescribed for anxiety and Rohypnol (commonly known as a “date rape drug”). The results of the test will be indicated by a colour change in the test ampoule, which can then be compared to the included colour chart for easy interpretation.

All EZ tests, including the Benzo Drug Testing Kit, use a chemical reagent absorbed in silica gel, contained in a glass ampoule. When a sample is introduced to the reagent, a chemical reaction may occur if benzodiazepines are present, resulting in a specific colour change. This colour can then be compared to the chart provided, giving an indication of the benzodiazepine that may be in the sample.

Unfortunately we are not able to give details of the reagent used or the precise nature of the chemistry involved for this test.

What is Reagent Testing?

Reagents are chemicals (usually acids or bases) which react in a known way to the suspected contents of a sample. All reagents sold by EZ Tests are known to change colour according to the substance that they are testing for.

Reagent testing is the process of adding an unknown material to a chemical reagent to observe the reaction that follows. It is a form of forensic chemistry which aims to rule in and out certain chemicals or groups of chemicals with various reagents until the
contents is known. Reagent testing does not guarantee the presence of any particular drug or the absence of any others.

Why is Reagent Testing Important?

Illicit drugs are made, sold and (often) consumed with no quality testing or indication of what they really contain. Unfortunately, this can result in bad experiences, anxiety and serious harm. Reagent tests offer a quick and easy way to get some idea of what you may be taking.

They are not perfect, and they do not replace professional laboratory testing services, but they can be vital and may save a life.

What are the Limitations of Reagent Testing?

Reagent testing cannot guarantee that a sample contains a certain drug, and it cannot guarantee that there is no other drug present. Despite testing, it is possible that a different chemical reacted similarly to the expected reaction, causing a false positive. It is also possible that there is a drug in your sample which does not react to the reagent in question, or the second reaction is obscured by the drug you expect to find, and therefore is not found in the tests. It is always a good idea to use three or more different tests on any sample, to reduce the risk of this happening.

If you are using a purity test then it is vital that you are testing a known quantity of the drug (and that this amount is the same as the amount specified in the instructions) or else the degree of colour change will not correspond to the purity of the sample.

The ampoule in which the reagents are supplied is made out of clear glass to allow reliable identification of colour changes. To ensure that the shelf life of your reagents is as long as possible, please store them in a cool, dark place such as your fridge or cool cupboard.

After testing, please ensure that the ampoule and any leftover sample are disposed of safely to prevent contamination or harm. Proper disposal helps protect yourself and others from potential exposure to harmful substances.

If the reagent comes into contact with your skin, you should wash the affected area with soap and lukewarm water for 10-15 minutes. If the reagent comes into contact with your eyes you should adhere to the same process with lukewarm water only.

This test is ideal for those seeking a quick, easy, and straightforward way to check for the presence of benzodiazepines or other related substances. Whether you are testing for personal safety or simply for knowledge, this kit provides a simple solution to obtain an indication of what's in a sample. 

• Convenient: A single-use kit that's easy to use, even for first-time users. 
• Fast Results: Results are available within minutes after mixing the sample. 
• Handy Colour Chart: Clear and concise colour chart included for easy interpretation of results.
