Mecke Reagent Instructions 1 MECKE REAGENT INSTRUCTIONS 1. Carefully open the WIM Scientic Laboratories Mecke Reagent's factory seal. 2. Using the provided mini tester spoon, place at least .010 to .005 Grams (Tiny amount) of the questionable substance into the empty testing vial. 3. Add one or two drops of the Mecke Reagent into the testing vial. 4. Refer to the color chart (on back) to determine what is present in the sample. 5. After successfully testing your substance, mini testing spoon and testing vial will need to be completely cleaned and dried before your next use. 6. After testing, the Mecke Reagent cap should be closed tightly and placed back into the bag to ensure no leakage or unwanted exposure occurs. 7. Also included are glow sticks and wristbands...because we love you. They may come in handy! Keep out of direct sunlight and hot temperatures (Above 120 degrees) for best results and lasting usage. Mecke Reagent will be good for at least 3-6 months depending on proper storage. If reagent comes into contact with skin or eyes, wash promptly with soap and water. Latex gloves are highly recommended when handling kits. If irritation persists, receive medical attention immediately. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

The simplicity, low cost and rapid results afforded by these tests make them particularly attractive for presumptive identification globally. In this paper, we review the development of these long- established methods and discuss color test recommendations and guidelines. A search of the scientific literature revealed the chemical Abstract: reactions occurring in many color tests are either not actively investigated or reported as unknown. Today, color tests face many challenges, from the appearance of new psychoactive substances to concerns regarding selectivity, sensitivity, and safety. Advances in technology have seen color test reagents used in digital image color analysis, solid sensors and microfluidic devices for illicit drug detection. This review aims to summarize current research and suggest the future of presumptive color testing. http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/dta Page 1 of 34 Drug Testing and Analysis 1 2 3 A review of chemical ‘spot’ tests: a presumptive illicit drug identification 4 5 technique 6 7 Morgan Philp and Shanlin Fu 8 9 10 11 Short title: Review of chemical spot tests for illicit drug detection 12 13 Chemical ‘spot’ tests are a presumptive illicit drug identification technique commonly used 14 by law enforcement, border security personnel, and forensic laboratories.

Introduction Preliminary screening of Drugs are basically done by Colour tests, also sometimes referred to as chemical spot tests, provide with one of the leading tools for the presumptive identification of drugs. These colour tests are most practically applied to pharmaceuticals and scene of crime residues and, to a lesser extent, to biological fluids such as stomach contents, urine, etc. They are used to place the unidentified into a specific class of compounds or to eliminate categories or classes of compounds. These colour tests remain popular for several reasons. They are simple to perform and no extensive training is required. As such, they appeal in situations where laboratory facilities may be very limited. They can be performed in the field by police officers or technicians, require minimal reagents, are inexpensive, and give immediate results that can be viewed by the bare eye.

  • Psychedelic Resource List (PRL) Was Born in 1994 As a Subscription-Based Newsletter
    A Note from the Author… The Psychedelic Resource List (PRL) was born in 1994 as a subscription-based newsletter. In 1996, everything that had previously been published, along with a bounty of new material, was updated and compiled into a book. From 1996 until 2004, several new editions of the book were produced. With each new version, a decrease in font size correlated to an increase in information. The task of revising the book grew continually larger. Two attempts to create an updated fifth edition both fizzled out. I finally accepted that keeping on top of all of the new books, businesses, and organizations, had become a more formidable challenge than I wished to take on. In any case, these days folks can find much of what they are looking for by simply using an Internet search engine. Even though much of the PRL is now extremely dated, it occurred to me that there are two reasons why making it available on the web might be of value. First, despite the fact that a good deal of the book’s content describes things that are no longer extant, certainly some of the content relates to writings that are still available and businesses or organizations that are still in operation. The opinions expressed regarding such literature and groups may remain helpful for those who are attempting to navigate the field for solid resources, or who need some guidance regarding what’s best to avoid. Second, the book acts as a snapshot of underground culture at a particular point in history. As such, it may be found to be an enjoyable glimpse of the psychedelic scene during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

  • Color Test Reagents/Kits for Preliminary Identification of Drugs of Abuse
    U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs National Institute of Justice National Institute of Justice Law Enforcement and Corrections Standards and Testing Program Color Test Reagents/Kits for Preliminary Identification of Drugs of Abuse NIJ Standard–0604.01 ABOUT THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CORRECTIONS STANDARDS AND TESTING PROGRAM The Law Enforcement and Corrections Standards and Testing Program is sponsored by the Office of Science and Technology of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), U.S. Department of Justice. The program responds to the mandate of the Justice System Improvement Act of 1979, which directed NIJ to encourage research and development to improve the criminal justice system and to disseminate the results to Federal, State, and local agencies. The Law Enforcement and Corrections Standards and Testing Program is an applied research effort that determines the technological needs of justice system agencies, sets minimum performance standards for specific devices, tests commercially available equipment against those standards, and disseminates the standards and the test results to criminal justice agencies nationally and internationally. The program operates through: The Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Advisory Council (LECTAC), consisting of nationally recognized criminal justice practitioners from Federal, State, and local agencies, which assesses technological needs and sets priorities for research programs and items to be evaluated and tested. The Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which develops voluntary national performance standards for compliance testing to ensure that individual items of equipment are suitable for use by criminal justice agencies. The standards are based upon laboratory testing and evaluation of representative samples of each item of equipment to determine the key attributes, develop test methods, and establish minimum performance requirements for each essential attribute.

From this beginning work was done on other alkaloids until a total of sixty-four had been tested. Thirteen of these alkaloids were of doubt- ful purity, and therefore the results obtained on these are not recorded here. Two preliminary papers have been presented on this work before the Association of Official Agricultural Chem- ists, the first in 1908, published in Bulletin No. 122, Bureau of Chemistry, p. 97,1909, and the second in 1910, published in Bulletin No. 137, Bureau of Chemistry, p. 189,1911. In this work no claim at all is made for originality in applying the microchemical tests for alkaloids, as the methods have been in use for many years.
