How To Use

The test consists of a yellow patch on a card together with a cotton swab and wipe.  Wet the cotton swab with water or the wipe.  Roll the cotton swab in the powder. Press the cotton swab against the patch. The patch will turn gray if no amine or  opiate is present. A bright orange color indicates the presence of an amine or opiate. The test is conducted in only a few seconds and will pick up residue of a drug on a person's hand.

There are many different tests available that test for one specific drug, but no other comprehensive test that detects all of secondary and tertiary amines and major opiates. Cocaine wipes, for example, test only for cocaine residue. There are machines that cost up to $100,000 to detect drug particles and testing kits that will detect one or two specific drugs. Many police organizations have used the NIK test which detects a wide variety of drugs using sulfuric acid. Specific training is required for this test which is both dangerous to use and difficult to transport.  Only the Drug Kop tests for all of the amines and opiates - inexpensively and immediately.
