Description
Fentanyl is an extremely potent opioid drug sometimes sold in place of benzodiazepines, heroin and other opioids. It can be pressed into tablets or sold as a powder and in its undiluted form a fatal dose is smaller than a grain of sand.
Recently there have been cases in the US and Canada where fentanyl has been found in a wide variety of drugs and for this reason we felt we needed to offer a test for it.
The single-use strips are used by dissolving 5 mg of powder (size of a match-head) into a teaspoon (2.5 mL) of water and submerging the test strip to the line. The test will detect any amount of fentanyl which could have an effect. For powders which may not be evenly mixed, dissolve the whole sample into 10mL of water and perform the same test. You can recover the sample by evaporation.
This contains 100 single-use strips. Detects fentanyl at concentrations over 0.01 μg/mL. Detects 4-FiBF, Furanylfentanyl and Acetylfentanyl over 1ug/mL (sufficient to detect dangerous amounts). The test is not intended to detect in urine but is able to do this.
As with all harm reduction techniques, testing does not guarantee safety – even pure heroin, MDMA, cocaine etc can be fatal. Make sure you don’t just test for the presence of fentanyl. Never take a full dose as your first dose from a new batch.
