Lab testing of pills

[bipolar1970]

Does anyone know of a lab that will test pills at a reasonable cost? The ones I've looked up charge more than $100 per test. One place close to my home, Any Lab Now (I think it's a chain), charges $469 per pill content analysis!! I've heard of kits in places like the Neatherlands that are provided for free, mostly to test what's in club drugs like Molly, where you scrape some of the pill and can get an idea of what's in them. Maybe there's a DIY kit out there for sale online? I've looked and can't find any. I mostly want to be sure that pills ordered outside of the US that have no distinctive markings are safe or what they're supposed to be. Any help is much appreciated!

yeah I think you can buy a simple drug test at walgreens and screen the drug to see if it contains opiate or not, it just wont tell you exactly what kind but at least you would know if its a total fake.

Dancesafe.com, there are a few threads on the board related to your question and the tests are not incredibly expensive and the reagent kits are good for quite a few tests, quite a good value and you get a pretty immediate result, but not for the entire content of the individual pill and it is basically going to show you there is an opiate (for instance), but not the specific drig in question, e.g. Hydro or OXy.

Good luck.

If you google around for the three Ms: Marquis, Mecke and Mandelin, between the three different tests you can usually ID almost any substance rather definitively.  If you are going with just one the Marquis gives the best baseline info.  There's a lot of 1-shot kits out there that are crazy expensive though, you can shop around and find multi use bottles of reagent for pretty cheap.

Do these DIY kits also work with other types of medications like benzos?
