Ketamine Drug Testing Kit

The Ketamine drug testing kit is useful for identifying a variety of substances, including: 

• Ketamine: a dissociative anaesthetic widely used in both human (from surgical use to neonatal intensive care) and veterinary medical applications.
• Ecstasy (MDMA, MDA, MDE, MBDB): Recreational entactogenic stimulants popular for a variety of recreational uses.
• (Meth)amphetamine: stimulant drugs often used to improve alertness and give euphoric affects.
• PM(M)A: A substance often mistaken for MDMA but much more dangerous. The effects of PM(M)A take far longer than MDMA to kick in, leading to early redosing and overdoses are much more likely.
• 2-Amino-Indane: A stimulant sometimes used as a legal substitute for ecstasy
• Methylphenidate: Also known as Ritalin, this is a prescription stimulant often used in the treating of ADHD.

The Ketamine testing kit uses the Mandelin reagent sealed inside a glass ampoule. When a small sample of the substance is added to the ampoule, it reacts with the chemicals and changes colour. The resulting colour can then be compared to the chart provided to give an indication of which substances may be present.

Mandelin’s reagent is made using ammonium vanadate in water with concentrated sulphuric acid. The exact nature of its reaction with ketamine is not well understood.

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.
