What are MDA test kit reagents used for?

SAMPLE	RECOMMENDED MDA REAGENT TESTS
MDA / MDMA / METH/AMPHETAMINE / 2C-B	Marquis Mecke Simon’s Robadope Zimmermann single-use MDA test kit multiple-use MDA test kit

Reagent tests indicate presence of a substance, therefore can either help confirm presence of the expected compound or help rule out certain cuts.

Marquis – main test for most powders, secondary test for ketamine, mephedrone and psychedelics
Mecke – main test for most powders, secondary test for cocaine, ketamine and mephedrone
Simon – main test for secondary amines, e.g. MDMA, meth, mephedrone, methylone or PMMA
Robadope – main test for primary amines, e.g. MDA, amphetamine or PMA
Zimmermann / Beam – main test for cathinones and benzodiazepines in geneal, detects also CBD
Single use MDMA test kit includes Marquis reagent
Multi use MDMA reagent test kit includes reagents Marquis, Mecke, Simon’s, Robadope and Zimmermann

Marquis reagent is the main test for MDA and produces an instant black color change with MDA, MDMA, but also MDEA and a few other compounds. Mecke reagent is the recommended follow up test.

Simon’s and Robadope are useful both to confirm MDMA or MDA as well as detect primary amines (2C-x, amphetamine, MDA, PMA) in MDMA, or secondary amines (meth, MDMA, PMMA, mephedrone derrivatives) in MDA. Zimmermann reagent helps rule out secondary and tertiary cathinones, mostly MMC and PVP analogs.

Testing MDMA with Marquis reagent, Mecke, Simon’s, Robadope and Zimmermann

MDA vs MDMA

Use Robadope and/or Simon’s reagents to tell apart MDMA and MDA. MDA will cause a pink color change with Robadope reagent, while Simon’s will react to MDMA with an instant blue color change. Use both in your MDMA testing kit for best results.

MDA is more common in America, although it is often found worldwide as a trace syntesis contaminant in MDMA sample. MDA (3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine) and MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) are amphetamine-derived psychoactive drugs. They differ in their chemical structures, effects, and uses. Both substances have varying legal statuses worldwide and carry potential health risks, making responsible use crucial.

MDA is known for its stimulating and hallucinogenic properties, often producing altered perceptions and increased energy. In contrast, MDMA, commonly called ecstasy, is recognized for its empathogenic and entactogenic effects, fostering emotional closeness and sociability. Neurochemically, MDA has a more pronounced impact on dopamine release, while MDMA primarily affects serotonin release, leading to differences in their effects.

What is MDMA test kit for?

MDMA Test Kit includes 5 reagents best for MDMA, MDA, 2C-B or meth/amphetamine, but also suitable for benzofurans, cathinones, opioids and more. It is used to positively identify MDMA, MDA, meth/amphetamines, 2C-B/C/H/I, 5-MAPB, 6-APB, 6-APDB and to rule out cathinones, DXM, PMA/PMMA, or different, less predictable, less desirable, highly toxic dangerous drugs. Multiple reagents are required to detect adulterants and increase analysis precision.

Reagent tests can indicate PRESENCE, but not QUANTITY. Mixtures can be detected with reagents only if adulterant causes a darker color change than the expected substance. To detect all ingredients and estimate their amount pair reagents with a TLC purity test kit.
What is included in MDMA reagent test kit?

The MDMA Test Kit includes 5 reagents: Marquis, Mecke, Robadope, Simon’s and Zimmermann, absorbent vermiculite, a porcelain reaction plate, a spatula, gloves, instructions and app for all test kits and over 800 substances. Every bottle contains 5 ml (liquids) or 10 ml (crystals), 100 tests of each in total.

How to use MDMA reagent test kit?

GET ALL TOOLS

First, prepare a clean white testing surface – ceramic or glass is the best, e.g. bottom of a mug or a plate. Get your sample, reagents, a sharp tool / scoop and paper towels.

PREPARE SAMPLE, ABOUT THIS BIG -> ●

If testing a pill, powder or crystal, crush it finely. If testing a liquid, dry one drop on paper or clean ceramic surface. A bigger sample can cause a stronger reaction. You need a new sample for each test.

ADD ONE* DROP (OR PILE) OF REAGENT

Shake bottles hard before use, then tap firmly to shake down any reagent stuck in cap. Do not let a bottle touch sample or you will ruin the rest of the reagent. Use just enough reagent to cover a sample. If using crystals avoid air pockets by flattening crystals onto sample using a clean tool. *Do not combine reagents except for „A” and „B” bottles.

OBSERVE FOR UP TO 3 MINUTES*

Disregard any color change after 3 minutes. Do not overinterpret your results, consider that color change reaction is always fastest and most vivid in the part where biggest surface of reagent touches sample, compared to its edges. Over time reaction will degrade due to air contact. Take photos.

COMPARE RESULTS

Compare color change with instructions. Reagents can indicate PRESENCE, but not QUANTITY. Adulterants can be detected with reagents only if they cause a darker color change than the expected substance. To detect all ingredients and estimate their amount pair reagents with a TLC purity test kit.

Clean used reagent tools / testing surface with lots of running water and detergent, avoid contamination.

How to handle MDMA test kit?

Drug testing kits contain toxic and/or corrosive chemicals, strong enough to burn skin and clothing. Keep out of eyes and mouth. Keep away from children and animals. Always use in a well-ventilated area. Wear gloves (supplied) when handling the bottle and cap. Wear protective eyewear. Never point towards face etc. If you get some on you/clothing, then immediately wash with lots of soap and water. Dispose of any unwanted reagent with running water, ventilate. Store reagents standing up and away from heat in a cool, dark place. The average shelf life of 2 years can be significantly extended by storing in a fridge or freezer (warm up to room temperature before use).

Reagents deteriorate with time or due to contact with air, especially if exposed to sunlight or not refrigerated. If you are uncertain whether the reagent will work, test it with an already confirmed sample.
How to test MDMA potency and detect all adulterants?
Pair MDMA test kit with a TLC purity test kit and fent strips. TLC allows you to discover full number of ingredients and estimate their amount, however still requires reagent tests to identify detected compounds. To detect even trace amounts of fentanyl use fent strips.

Primary TLC Testing Liquid – alkaloids, caffeine, phenetylamines (amphetamine, MDMA, 2C-B, etc.), indolamines (LSD, DMT, etc.), ketamine, tryptamines, opiates and more. Included in TLC kits for amphetamine, methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA and Full.
- To test amphetamine purity use TLC Amphetamine Purity Test Kit (% ruler not included)
- To test methamphetamine purity use TLC Methamphetamine Purity Test Kit (% ruler not included)
- To test ketamine purity use TLC Ketamine Purity Test Kit (% ruler not included)
- To test MDMA purity use TLC MDMA Purity Test Kit (MDMA % ruler included).
TLC Testing Liquid for Cocaine – cocaine, caffeine, ketamine, levamisole, lidocaine, procaine, tetracaine, benzocaine, acetaminophen and more. Included in the TLC kit for cocaine.
- To test cocaine purity use TLC Cocaine Purity Test Kit (cocaine % ruler included).
TLC Testing Liquid for Cannabinoids – for testing all natural cannabinoids and cannabis products. Included in TLC kit for cannabinoids.
- To test complete cannabinoids spectrum use TLC Cannabinoids Test Kit (THC and CBD % rulers included).
To precisely test purity of as many compounds as possible consider the Full TLC Purity Test Kit (% rulers included).

STEP TWO How to test MDA purity %?

To discover all adulterants and estimate quantity pair reagent tests with a TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography) Purity Test Kit. TLC purity tests alone don’t identify substances and are best paired with at least 1-2 reagent tests. Thin Layer Chromatography is one of classic substance analysis methods. It works by separating different compounds depending on their solubility in chosen TLC testing liquid (eluent). To precisly estimate MDA purity pair a reagent test kit with the MDMA Purity Test Kit.

How to test quality of MDA?

Qualitative TLC:

TLC test works by separating substances present in a sample, each detected spot indicates a different substance.

You can use an already confirmed sample for reference – if both compounds show up at the same height on the TLC “card” that indicates they can be the same substance.

You can use any substance for reference after establishing their relation – if substance X shows up twice as high on the same testing “card” as substance Y, you can expect them to keep that ratio.

TLC Cocaine Purity Test potency scale

Reference adjusted from 66% pure cocaine with coffeine and ethenzamide. Due to UV-C light photo might not display correctly.

TLC MDMA Purity Test potency scale

Reference results ranging from 10% up to 100%, adjusted from lab confirmed pure MDMA hydrochloride sample

How to test quality of MDA?

Semi-quantitative TLC:

TLC helps estimate quantity (potency). The bigger the size of the detected spot, the bigger the amount of measured substance. Note that different substances need different calibrated rulers and often different testing liquids (eluents).

Use a calibrated potency % ruler to estimate result with +-10% accuracy

One spot indicates a pure substance. If your sample fully dissolved in testing liquid and only one spot was detected on TLC then your substance is pure. Trace amounts of impurities might not be detected, do not rely on TLC for fentanyl testing – get also fentanyl test strips.

How to use TLC purity tests?

Watch how to test MDA with TLC:

Pair with a reagent test kit to identify substances. Use both kits separately.

Questions?

What is MDMA Purity Test Kit for?

MDMA Purity Test Kit includes best testing liquid and accessories for MDMA, MDA, meth/amphetamine, 2C-B but also suitable for benzofurans, opioids and more. It is used to discover full number and amount (%) of ingredients in a sample containing MDMA, MDA, meth/amphetamine, 2C-B/C/H/I/, 5-MAPB, 6-APB, 6-APDB and to rule out caffeine, cathinones, DXM, PMA/PMMA or different, less predictable, less desirable, highly toxic dangerous drugs. Additional multi-reagent test kit is required to identify ingredients and increase analysis precision.

TLC purity test kits can detect NUMBER and AMOUNT of substances, but not their TYPE. Pair TLC test kit with reagent test kit to indentify ingredients. Reagents alone detect mixtures only if adulterant causes a darker color change than the expected substance.
What is included in MDMA Purity Test Kit?

MDMA Purity Test Kit includes instructions, gloves, 4 vials, 5 testing “cards”, jar, pipette, testing liquid (40 ml), 20 glass tubes, UV-C flashlight (4 AA batteries required, not included) and MDMA % ruler. Each 1 “card”, 4 glass tubes and 4 ml of testing liquid equal 4 tests. Testing “card” can be reused untill fully used. Glass and metal protect testing liquid from air and moisture to ensure prolonged shelf life. High-quality caps and lid guarantee 0 spills.

TLC purity test kit for MDMA includes 1 Primary Testing Liquid for MDMA, MDA, 2C-B, DXM, DMT, LSD, ketamine, codeine, caffeine, mCPP, meth/amphetamine, metoclopramide, paracetamol, procaine but not cocaine or cannabinoids. It is best to use this test kit for cystals, powders, tablets, pills or solutions of MDMA.
How to use MDMA Test Kit?

GET ALL TOOLS

First, prepare a clean and well lit testing surfach. Get your sample, spatula, gloves, plastic vial, testing liquid, pipette, pencil, glass tube, wrapped esting cards, jar and UV-C flashlight. Next, carefully holding a testing “card” by only top edges mark 4 dots 1 cm apart from card’s bottom, sides and each other.

PREPARE SAMPLE

If testing a pill, powder or crystal, crush it finely. Weigh sample in a plastic vial and dissolve in testing liquid (or other solvent) using ratios mentioned in the booklet. Shake to dissolve. To big or too small sample can cause an inconclusive result.

ADD 1 MICROLITER TO CARD

In case of sediment wait a minute for it to fall down. Under strong light submerge end of glass tube to fill it with dissolved sample. Gently touch one of the marked dots on Testing Card to discharge sample and mark the spot with pencil.

INSERT CARD INTO JAR

Add 2 ml of testing liquid inside jar and carefully, paying attention to not touch the white side of Testing Card with sample, insert it inside jar. Close the jar and observe for about 25 minutes, until Testing Card almost fully soaks – but not any longer. Remove Testing Card from jar, wait for it to dry.

COMPARE RESULTS

Use UV-C flashlight to reveal results. Spots on Testing Card revealed by UV-C light circle using pencil. Each spot indicates a separate substance. TLC purity test kits can detect NUMBER and AMOUNT of substances, but not their TYPE. Pair TLC test kit with reagent test kit to indentify ingredients. Reagents alone detect mixtures only if adulterant causes a darker color change than the expected substance.

To reuse Testing Card do not apply reagent tests on it.
