For
the presumptive identification of Methadone.
A
positive result is generated by the absence of color change after breaking the
first ampoule and a resulting blue colour.
Test
H should only be used after positive results from Test A, G, I and C
Simple
to use, NIK Pouches contain one to three chemical ampoules in a heavy-duty
plastic pouch. This eliminates the need for measuring, mixing and dispensing of
reagents. Just place a small sample of the suspect drug in the pouch, break the
ampoules and watch for a colour change. A positive colour indicator on the
pouch will help interpret the reaction. To see the colour properly, hold the
pouch steady in front of the white background. Remember for any test there are
four important factors to look for namely 1) Colour, 2) location of colours in
the test pack, 3) Change or absence of colour 4) Intensity of the colour.
Reagent shelf life is indefinite, but prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or
heat should be avoided. Ampoules should be broken through the protective
plastic casing in the centre of each vial. DO NOT continue to crush the glass
after breaking the vials, as it may puncture the pouch. To mix the reagents
simply 'flick' the pouch with your finger, or agitate it gently from side to
side.
Each
pack contains 10 individual tests.
