We’re excited to finally be adding the Mandelin reagent to our stock. This is a crucial reagent for the detection of dangerous PMA and PMMA substituting MDA and MDMA. The two are not commonly mixed but PM(M)A is not detected by the Marquis reagent so this can lead to a false sense of security with Marquis but with the Mandelin reagent a reddish brown reaction is given.
The Mandelin reagent can also be used to identify ketamine and cocaine, which give deep orange/red and deep orange/yellow reactions respectively.
